or scopes - add this to your model to be able to or scopes together (eg: Model.or(Model.scope1, Model.scope2). Stolen and adapted from fake_arel

where = []
joins = []
includes = []
# for some reason, flatten is actually executing the scope
scopes = scopes[0] if scopes.size == 1
scopes.each do |s|
w = []
s.where_clauses.each do |where_clause|
