My logic in the correct_user() before filter is: why should I have to
search the database for the user:

when I can just compare the id of the user in the session:

 get_user_from_session.id.to_s

to the id in the url:

 params[:id]


i'm assuming that get_user_from_session returns a User object.

>> get_user_from_session.id.to_s # User with ID = 1
>> User.find('1-user-name') # User with ID = 1

so comparing params[:id] with the User ID converted to string will not always be equal.
