[Rails] Re: How To Validate Boolean Form Field

After correcting syntax errors, I tried:

  def validate
    errors.add(:AZ_resident, "You must be an Arizona resident") if 
:AZ_resident == false
  end

No difference.  Forms with AZ_resident left FALSE are happily inserted 
into the database; no errors raised.

But, moreover, what is wrong with my use of the validates_acceptance_of 
method?  According to the docs found @ 
http://rubyonrails.org/api/classes/ActiveRecord/Validations/ClassMethods.html, 
I'm doing everything right.

Thanks folks,
