[Ruby] refactoring/drying help

[Mike Emery]

There's a slight problem there.  If a person is both an artist and a writer,
the fact that they are an artist will clobber the fact that they are also a
writer (unless there's some kind of inheritance).  It looks like you need
separate "person_roles" table.

people:
1, mike

roles:
1: writer
2: artist

person_roles:
1,1
1,2
