Tradition does need to be question, but not discarded.  Tradition and heritage
has two functions we don't appreciate.  Firstly, tradition within it, has
centuries and generations worth of knowledge, gained by trial and error, often
painfully.  WE may not be able to explain why certain traditions or cultural
mores are the way they are, but they nevertheless behind them, may contain much
hard learned wisdon.  Heritage also gives us grounding, and anchors us to a
particular part of the patchwork of humanity, the part where we may best fit.
