dumbest person ever? I'm voting for this guy...

excerpt below from this article:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081011/ap_on_re_us/connecticut_gay_marriage

"Three justices issued separate dissenting opinions.
Justice Peter T. Zarella wrote that he believes there is no fundamental right to same-sex marriage, and that the court's majority failed to discuss the purpose of marriage laws, which he said is to "privilege and regulate procreative conduct."
Zarella added, "The ancient definition of marriage as the union of one man and one woman has its basis in biology, not bigotry. If the state no longer has an interest in the regulation of procreation, then that is a decision for the legislature or the people of the state and not this court."

{and now for my comments on that}

NO! You stupid fucking imbecile! It's never been the government's job to "regulate procreation." What the FUCK are you smoking?!?!?! If it were, the state would be issuing birth licenses not marriage licenses. Does this jackass really believe that somewhere in Connecticut state law it says the point of marriage is for making babies? What about infertile couples, women who had hysterectomies, or men who had vasectomies, or post-menopausal women. No marriage for them - since they're unable to procreate. And if marriage were really about "regulating procreation" then who decides who should or should not get married. What if two really hideously ugly people came in? Could they be denied because they shouldn't be making ugly babies? Or what if a dwarf came in? Could they be denied because that gene is heritable?

There's no sufficient amount of swear words that can accurately describe the complete and utter stupidity of this man...
