Subject: multi-dimentional array

I need to insert Broad Category value and Topics value into a table,
doing something like this (where 'Police, Crime, Drugs' are topics
values and 'Crime & Law Enforcement' is broad category value):

obj1 = 'Police, Crime, Drugs'
obj1 = obj1.split(',').map do |tag_name|
  execute "insert into tags (name,counter) values
('#{tag_name.strip.downcase}', 0)"
  t = Tag.find_by_name(tag_name.strip.downcase)
  tt = t.tag_with('Crime & Law Enforcement')
end

When it comes with multiple broad categories and topics, I want to build
an array in a form like
[['Police, Crime, Drugs','Crime & Law Enforcement'],['Fire, Emergency
Services','Emergency Management'], ['Schools, Colleges,
Libraries','Education'],...]
to iterate the executions. I worked for quite some hours, but still
can't make it work. Can someone help?

Joan
