Funny, as a natural carnivore, I find vegetarians to be quite tasty.

Yes, because government bureaucracies have a much better track record at deciding what's best for everyone.

It was an occident, caused by his disorientation.

If your Kernel panics, it's probably General Protection's fault. But the General will most likely blame it all on a crash caused by Major Device's driver, Private Page.
