This is a coordinated effort to evolve the perfect consumer. Religeons
self-select people who are followers, and thus are encouraged to breed like
rabbits (no birth control, pro-life, etc). By encouraging things like
condoms (requiring a high deal of self-control which good consumers dont
have) rather then methods not needing so much control at the time, you breed
a better consumer. Alchohol will always be legal and easily available to
teens for the same reason, breed young, breed often. Educated people are
well known as really bad consumers, they do research and usually find nearly
the best price. Smart people need to stay in school thus removing themselves
from the reproductive pool until later in life were risks go exponential and
increase the chances of pregnency resulting in a good consumer. Eugenics
isn't about breeding smarter people, it's about making dumb ones that follow
orders and have no self control.
So.. Illuminati, aliens, or Walmart? *chuckles*
