"Can't We All Just Get Along"

For John, BLUF:  You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your relatives.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

In the area of getting your values right, we have a small failure on the part of Actress Halle Berry.  On the Jay Leno show she was asked about a genealogist telling her she was related to former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.  She blurted out:

I mean, isn’t that the worst thing you can imagine?

And, in a very Palinesque sort of way she adds a superfluous "I mean" at the beginning of the sentence.

If you look at the side-by-side photos in this article they do have that "separated at birth" look.♠

What if the genealogist had told her she was related to "Big Daddy" Idi Amin?

Are we not all related, just that some of us have Neanderthal DNA and some don't?  I am guessing Halle Berry is part of the crowd that does.
