....that the problem with judges allowing gay marriages, etc, is that it "increases uncertainty."  I spent a little while thinking about this, and couldn't figure out what on earth he means, because the only answer that presented itself just doesn't make sense.  Surely he can't really be saying that gay marriage needs to be banned because, if gay marriage were allowed, he's afraid some poor heterosexual might inadvertently marry a member of the same sex by accident?

I suppose you have a point. (Though it's not nearly as amusing.)
Sometimes I wonder if we, as a species, will ever get over trying to write ourselves justifications and authority so keep other people down, keep them apart from us, or do unspeakable things to them for no better reason than because they're Not Like Us and we're secretly afraid that we might get cooties from them.
