What did your grandparents do? I somehow doubt all four were complete saints.

One was a farmer, the other an electrician. The ladies were home makers . All served for the allied forces in the war. Certainly not Saints, certainly not Nazis or sympathizers.

Are you sure? Obviously they weren't very feminist, and so it's not far fetched they were a bit racist too. Where did the farmer get his land? If he was Canadian was he native, or did someone steal it?

You see where this line of reasoning goes? We're all descended from bastards. That doesn't mean anything because it can't mean anything.
