…but not without hint of prejudice

George Pitcher gave a clever analysis of the hunting debate as a marketing exercise.

Both sides have been guilty of muddying the waters around this issue, but what it comes down to is that one side is trying to get the other stopped because it doesn’t like what the other is doing (that counts as prejudice in my book).

As for Pitcher using terms like “parvenu” to describe the pro-hunting lobby, a word that my dictionary defines as “vulgar newly rich person; upstart” – it makes me wonder if thisÂis a class thing after all.
