Wayne, The selectiveness in political thinking is not a new concept. I am reading a biography of Edward III of England. During the 100 years war, there was a controversy over who should be king of France (or lord of a lesser domain) if the former king had no surviving sons or brothers. Some said that if the king had a daughter and she had a son, he should be king. Some said that if the king had a sister and she had a son, he should be king. They fought about this for more than 100 years, give a few timeouts for The Black Plague. However, the English and French position on who should inherit changed several times. In each case, it turned out that the change depended upon whom each party had in line for the lordship or throne. <g>
