Michael, Thanks for the response.
I understand that part but what if i wanted to make it arbitrary. In the
case of an arbitrary variable called "attribute". Something like
user_profile.get(attribute) where attribute can be anything (ie 'firstname',
'lastname').
Is there a way to get a arbitrary attribute from the model?
