In a patriarchal society the logic here is probably that sons tend to respect and follow their fathers ideals and motivations. You thinK?

That would be a good assumption, Luke. Although it's hard to see how a child could be blamed for what his father did.

This is a convenient place for talking about Klingon culture. In "Reunion", Ambassador K'eylahr returns with news that K'mpec is dying and there might be an upcoming civil war between the forces of Duras and Gowron. Here's the thing -- everyone is aghast at the idea of a Klingon using poison, but later on one of the warriors carries a micro-miniature bomb into the conference chamber, and that is supposed to be an "honorable death". What's the difference?

I dont get that either. And in Heart of Glory, the Klingons brag about pretending to surrender and then shooting the enemy when they lower their shields. In the Ordo Equestris back home, all three tactics would be considered fit only for barbarians.

In "Heart of Glory", those three Klingons were renegades anyway, but I see your point. The Klingon concept of "honor" seems to be quite different from ours.
