Soledad ... I didn't say only middle-class, white people should have kids. Sheesh, I didn't mean that at all!
I was talking about the people that can't afford to buy food, clothes and medical care for their kids at all ... and make no effort to do so. They just keep having more kids, and keep expecting the hard-working tax-payers to keep footing the bill for them.
A lot of my extended family is dirt poor. There's nothing wrong with being poor, there's no shame in working hard just to put food on the table. I was not implying if you can't afford a PlayStation2 and a new bike and private tutors for your kids you shouldn't have any. But I DO mean that if you aren't willing to get off your rear and get a job and work to feed your kids, you shouldn't have them.

"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
