Oh, come on, sensop - so seminary is a place where... somehow I don't think that was the intent of calling a religious school a seminary ( although in practice it might be a different story ).
Modern American English is a patois of many languages. Sometimes in usage the generally accepted meaning gets reversed from the original. Example: if you try to clarify what the framers of the Second Amendment were trying to do you get called a reactionary ( radicals are those godless Hanoi Jane Fonda hippy types that do love-ins with dope smokers and gays and commie scum, right? )
Well, technically. though it isn't common usage, a Second Amendment supporter is a radical ( same base word in latin as radish ) RADIX or root: one who points to the basic root premises from which a situation has grown.
I'm tolerant, however.
If you want to go Jackrabbit hunting with me then feel free to bring your 475 Atkinson and Marquart or your custom Wells actioned double square bridge mauser chambered for the 510 Wells and at least 200 rounds of full charge ammo ( you're practicing for your next safari, right, it's training and not fun ). I'll bring my mannlicher stocked 223. Be sure to bring a cell phone and a global position thingie so I know the right directions to give the CareFlight helicopter.
God, I just spent about two months moderating a forum and responding professionally to everyone over on bladeforums.com, and now it feels wonderful to "give 'em hell Harry" as just me, joe schmuck, only. Don't worry, Schmit, I'm not trolling, just venting a little spleen I've kept in too long. LOL
