Miners have always chosen transaction on "political" basises, and doing such is their right. That's why the system is supposed to be comprised of many miners, all with their own policies - so the choices of one do not impact the overall ability to spend (presumably only spam should be rejected by all miners). For fees to themselves justify the cost of a transaction, they would need to be magnitudes higher than we've ever seen on Bitcoin. But even then, nobody has an obligation to accept payment, no matter how reasonable it is, for a service they don't want to provide. Luke
