Subject: Looking for a way to access ActiveRecord data in a rails app from another non-rails app with $SAFE=1

I only need to read the data, but I want to use AR if I can, because 
it's what everything in the rails app uses, and I want to keep the whole 
  area as simple and maintainable as possible.  I don't see anything in 
Rails that allows special access.  Perhaps if I make a certain kind of 
account will it let me in?  It appears with $SAFE=1 I get locked out no 
matter what.
