Vicki:  Monjoronson, I’m going to move on to a [[discussion]] on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiculturalism blended family].  First, I want to mention the [[fact]] that I am a part of a blended family, both in religious terms, and racial terms.  My husband and I created a blended [[family]].  I’m going to start with this question:  As [[future]] [[events]] unfold[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Catastrophism], causing disruption to families, similar to what we’ve seen in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiti Haiti], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chile Chile], and maybe some other [[events]] that are soon to come, we can expect the [[possibility]] that there will be more [[orphans]], and that there will be more racially blended families.  Am I correct?  (That is correct.)  I’m guessing that this will have both a positive and a negative impact.  Could you speak to this?

Vicki:  This is a [[curiosity]] question—I’m not even sure if you might have answered it, in talking about past [[discussions]] of [[genetics]]—I’ll give this a try:  As [[parents]] of an adopted and racially [[diverse]] foreign-born son, who joined our [[family]] in early infancy, we observed some cultural propensities, not typical of the culture we raised him in, but more typical of his [[ancestral]] [[culture]].  Some say that the cultural practices and orientations of our early ancestors, is deeply ingrained, and indeed stored in our [[DNA]].  Is this a valid [[assumption]]?  (Yes.)  Okay, then my next question takes a [[spiritual]] turn here:  Does our ancestral [[DNA]] then affect our leaning toward certain [[spiritual]] [[practices]] and [[beliefs]], regardless of [[environmental]] [[influences]]?  (Yes.)  Can you speak to that more?
