I already decided to not add kids to the fray. What we need is to encourage people who are poor (or comparatively poor) to not have kids. Those who can afford it the most should have them.

A poor person having a kid essentially dooms that kid to an ever-worsening 1970s energy crisis. College is no guarentee. What do you study? Religion actually in this case is promoting starvation and other suffering by opposing contraception and abortion.

Indeed.  The richer the family the more energy they consume.

Funny when you say the rich should only have kids you get questioned, howeer in nature doesn't this go on all the time?  The weak are weeded out and do not live.  Those genes are lost and the superior ones remain.  If you actually stop the think about it, why would a poor person WANT to have kids?  It doesn't make sense when you can not afford to take care of them, but since this is an acedemic hyperbole I'll step down since it's not moral and all.
