title: Overriding a Rails default_scope
body: <p>If I have an ActiveRecord::Base model with a default-scope:</p>
  
  <pre><code>class Foo &lt; ActiveRecord::Base
  
    default_scope :conditions =&gt; ["bar = ?",bar]
  
  end
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there any way to do a <code>Foo.find</code> <em>without</em> using the <code>default_scope</code> conditions? In other words, can you override a default scope?</p>
  
  <p>I would have thought that using 'default' in the name would suggest that it <strong>was</strong> overridable, otherwise it would be called something like <code>global_scope</code>, right?</p>
