16. but spouses and children aren't the indirect objects of "their" personal life

Personal lives refer to actions, things that can be owned by the person who's executing them. Spouses and children aren't actions--they're other people.

I don't have anything specific at the moment, except that of course, the bravery of the Occupy movements is an example, as is the moral and in-your-face equivalent of Alan Grayson reading out the names in session, district by district, of the people who died as a result of lack of health insurance. They're dead, so nobody's going to harass them based on their names being read out, and it was a deliberate calling out of the monsters who were happy to let them die and decrease the surplus population. Of course, they invested millions to get him voted out for precisely that behavior, but it's that sort of calling out I'm talking about.

If spouses are lobbyists in the industry being questioned, then maybe that can be mentioned.

Keep kids out of it, unless they're over 30 and lobbying in the same industry too.
