Catching Ducks

My favorite part:

"Yes, traditional marriage. When your fief-lord decides, for the purpose of increasing his workforce, that you, a pig-farmer on his estate, will marry one of the slop-women who cleans out the castle cesspit -- it doesn't matter which one. So he bribes the Archbishop to bind you in marriage and the King -- who happens to be passing through the village on his way to a witch-burning -- takes advantage of the right of primae noctis to deflower your bride. Then you have eleven children, three of whom survive, before dying of the plague at age twenty-six. Tradition!"

In other words: Just because it has been that way in the past, it doesn't mean it should be that way forever!

Also, why do you care?? How does it hurt you?? How does it hurt society?? I am constantly baffled.
