Are the "Sexers" Next?

[Sterngard Friegen]

Since the third person personal pronoun references to POTUS in the Constitution are all in the masculine, I anticipate we'll have a new class of challengers. While "sex" these days has been devolved into "gender" (since "sex" is apparently seen more and more to be a verb), calling these loons "genderers" is a bit unwieldy. So I think we should call them "sexers." (In fact, that is a legitimate word and is used to describe people who determine the sex gender of Foggy's fowlish offspring after they hatch.)

Who will be the first "sexer"? And will he or she rely on Minor v. Happersett? After all, if a woman couldn't vote even though she was a natural born citizen, how could she run for an office she could not vote for?

Is Mario Apuzzo up for the bloviation? Or will it be our favorite proponent of the "sacred sperm"?

Don't we already have one... he of the "sacred sperm" theory? And wimmin just don't count in his missives.

I think the loonbag in Alaska already went there. You know, the guy who wanted to serve lawsuits by Twitter. I forgotted his name.

Lamb. I think. It made my lawyer l'il sis literally pee herself due to laughter.

Thanks, Rockwell!

Jedi Pauly is our sacred sperm guy (only the citizenship of the father counts). And Thomas Lamb is the service by Twitter guy. I don't remember Lamb being a sexer -- yet.

Tom Lamb was the one who wanted to do service via Twitter.

But he wasn't the "wimmins is ineligible" guy.
That was Gordon Warren Epperly down in Juneau.

Don't ask me why I happen to know this:

In the world of professional marijuana cultivation you need one or more good sexers to sex (i.e., determine the sex of) your plants. Sexers first locate male plants so they can be gotten rid of before they pollinate. (The last thing you want is a bunch of seeds -- just the nice fat juicy buds from female plants, please!)

Sexing has to be done and re-done throughout the grow because even if you found all of the original males the first time (at about 6 weeks during the "pre-flowering phase"), a few hermaphrodites ("hermies") will develop as time goes on.

These days, serious cannabis producers are increasingly going with clones and/or feminized seeds (it's gotten to be quite sophisticated, really) which reduces somewhat the importance of employing good sexers. Nevertheless, sexing is still an important part of good cannabis husbandry.

Jon Christian Ryter was one of the earlier proclaimers of this.

Why Hillary Clinton Can't Legally Be President

Author's Note: I originally wrote and posted this article on my website on June 13, 2004. The URL was hit 11.4 million times in a two-day period and was the most read article on http://www.jonchrisitanryter.com in the history of my website. At least one well-recognized constitutional lawyer agreed with the view of the article that, without a Constitutional amendment degenderizing Article II of the Constitution, Hillary Rodham Clinton cannot constitutionally seek—or legally hold—the office of President of the United States. That, of course will not stop the former First Lady and current junior Senator from New York from running anyway and attempting to amend the US Constitution by precedent. If no one files a petition before the US Supreme Court (which is the only court with jurisdiction over this question) and should Hillary win, the Constitution will have been amended by common practice—erasing Article II and opening the door wide for the elimination of the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution using the same tactics.

In rebuttal,

Does the Constitution Allow for a Woman President?

This correlates with the recurring bigoted notion on the right that the 19th Amendment should be repealed, because women always need support and if they don't have a husband, they look to gov't for it, and will vote for it. So stupid women created the liberal welfare state, thus the long-term solution to liberalism and Big Gov't is to restrict the suffrage to men, who are smarter and don't need handouts.

Basically, the right-wing view of America is: white men are smart, industrious, strong, productive, and self-sufficient. Everyone else are stupid, lazy leeches. We must restore the country to the rule governance of the productive class.

I leave it to the reader to compare the image the right-wing militia/patriot/teapartier/birther guys have of themselves with the reality (dumb and/or under-educated, un- or under-employed, collecting gov't assistance or leeching off their girlfriends, wives, or families).

Clones. Polyploids don't seem worth the hassle. Careful if you use colchicine.

Homemade rooting compounds are fun. Careful with powdered enzymes.

Or so I hear.

I can hijack that thread in 8 posts, Tom.

Apple growers have been grafting branches of other trees onto other apple trees for years. So the original "golden Delicious" tree has been grafted to millions of other trees so the stem might be "Horrible dung" but the branches still produce sweet sweet "Golden Delicious"

In furtherance of this conspiracy, the way they make feminized seeds is to take a female plant, turn it into a hermaphrodite and then allow it to self pollinate. They use, wait for it,

Colloidal Silver.

While "sex" these days has been devolved into "gender"

This has been annoying me for decades. No one cares.

Stern, hate to break it to you, but the people who determine the sex of baby chicks/fowl, have ALWAYS been called sexers, and it was and is a legitimate job occupation going back to the beginning of the brooder era. I learned the term from my grandmother, so it goes back a VERY long ways. I haven't a clue how they tell the difference, but there is a trick and a knack to it and the good ones are scary fast at sorting and separating. The egg and broiler industry depends on them for their survival, and as far as I know they have yet to develop a machine that can do it. So it is a legitimate term of long standing.
