 *	MCResource
 * 
 *  This is where the magic happens. Syntax and methods are strongly inspired by ActiveRecord, part of Ruby on Rails, (c) 37signals
 *	The most notable difference is, this class does not support synchronous requesting, so EVERY request must be made with separate
 *  requesting and processing parts. It will usually work with a delegate callback.
