My "handicaps"?

In the story "Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut Jr., the government handicaps the people that they feel are "above" or "superior" to other citizens. They feel that in order for everyone in the society to be equal, they, in a sense, must dumb everybody down to their weakest link. Some of the handicaps that they use consist of sashweights to hold people back physically, earpieces that prohibit long thoughts that could corrupt peoples' minds, and ugly masks that conceal people's beauty underneath. This story made me think about what I would have if I were to live in this society and obtain handicaps.

The first thing that jumped out at me were the earpieces that transmitted a loud, obnoxious, disruptive sound every twenty seconds that disallow people from thinking too far into their thoughts. Considering my anxiety, which causes me to unwillingly think a million thoughts at a mile per minute, and often over analyze most situations, my earpiece that I would most undoubtedly have, would probably emit a sound every 10 seconds, at least. It's not even that my thoughts are revolutionary, they just cause me to think of any and every possible outcome that could arise from any given situation.

Secondly, I would most likely be handicapped by some sort of vocal inhibitor. When I disagree with something, everyone usually finds out about it. It isn't because I am strident or anything about it, I just like my opinion to be heard and discuss my opinions with people whose opinions differ from my own. Just like the newscaster that Vonnegut wrote about, I believe that I would have some sort of device that causes me to stutter or become unable to speak the words that I am trying to say.
