Sigh. Read it again. If I say every adult vegetarian *I* know has a bachelors degree and seems unable to remember or accept the fact that many animals do, indeed, eat other animals, how does that villify all vegetarians? The only thing I left out, I guess, is that the vegetarians I'm referring to in the second sentence are, indeed, the vegetarians I know. Just add the word 'these' between the parenthesis and 'vegetarians' and I'm innocent of all charges. Gotcha!
