[Dev-flock] argument evaluation

[Daniel Ring]

Hey,
Sorry about the confusion.  Limits on ratings for the various objects
are specified in db/ratings.py - I changed the range to [-1,1] so now
argument evaluations will work (I also changed the code in
main.py....we'll see who wins the svk smerge contest.)
Also, you shouldn't need to reference UserExtended explicitly, use
'user.profile' instead.
Also, Arguments don't have a userID foreign key because anytime an
object is created in the database, an Action object is automagically
created storing the user, time, and created object.  This allows us to
(eventually) do cool complex queries on user actions
(sorta-kinda-facebook-style feeds).
You can still retrieve the user and time via object.user and
object.time, but you can't set it that way (Action objects are immutable).
