How is this not a story?

If you would like to see marijuana legalized (or if you'd like to see the Patriot Act ended, because it's being used for prosecutin­g drug crimes, not terr0r!sm)­, the surest and quickest way is to personaliz­e it.  It's easy for those who have no stake in it, i.e., they don't know anyone who is facing prison time for drugs, to shrug it off.  But when enough of the 'establish­ment elites' have been touched, that's when the laws will change.

Different cultures, different languages, have specific words devoted to describing relations by marriage.  The man arrested is Chris Matthews's machatunim (Yiddish).  Or mishpokhe (extended family).  In Spanish, the other parents of the married couple, or co-grandpa­rents, are consuegros.

If you want to see change in the US, change the language you use to describe the relationsh­ips between people around you.  Inclusion rather than exclusion.
