This is my favorite one to get started! Let me ask what is a tradition? Per Webster: 1 a : an inherited, established, or customary pattern of thought, action, or behavior (as a religious practice or a social custom) b : a belief or story or a body of beliefs or stories relating to the past that are commonly accepted as historical though not verifiable <the bulk of traditions attributed to the Prophet -- J. L. Esposito> 2 : the handing down of information, beliefs, and customs by word of mouth or by example from one generation to another without written instruction 3 : cultural continuity in social attitudes, customs, and institutions 4 : characteristic manner, method, or style <in the best liberal tradition> I don't think unique or stolen changes the idea of tradition. I don't think we have at UNT a truly unique tradition that I am aware of. We been throwing tortillas almost 20 years! The article spoken of was complete crap by the way!
