K:

It has them.  I merely point out that it has, in addition to those 
definitions it also has this one.  I never claimed that your 
definitions were not correct; however you claimed that mine did not 
exist.  I submit to you that it does exist, and it is a quality that is 
familiar to anyone who is any way related to a United States Marine.

I would also submit that it is a definition familiar to anyone who 
subscribes, as do I, to the philosophies of John Locke, Thomas Paine 
and Jesus Christ.
