Mr. Paine has a relevant observation:
[T]he idea of hereditary legislators is as inconsistent as that of hereditary judges or hereditary juries; and as absurd as an hereditary mathematician, or an hereditary wise man; and as ridiculous as an hereditary poet-laureate. 
On the plus side, at least they, unlike Greenwoodistanans, know they're subjects.

[Via Matthew L]
