[ I read and reread Cruise's comments in that exchange and I agree with his general stance on the fact, as to Ritalin...however, some psychotropics actually alter brain chemistry such that an afflicted person is helped to remedy their original problem by way of (some) medications, and can hopefully do well without them later. ]

Tom Cruise is a certified Moonbat...
Proof: Falling for the tripe of Scientology..

Kind of like democrats; falling for the obvious lies and obfuscation of the Moon-Bandits in the democrat party.. or even the BushBats.. that are oblivious on several levels..

Tom is gonzo.. as is Vinney Barberelli..

Yeah...but I wasn't writing from a point of endorsing what Tom Cruise the Scientologist promoter expresses so much as trying to suggest that he does have a point (lost in his inappropriate and continued inappropriate forums and deliveries, such that his message is, too, lost) about the industrial use of psychopharmacology, particularly among children as doled out by unqualified individuals for, often, convenience based upon genearlized, negative assumptions.

Tom Cruise's determined denigration, however, about this one-note-theme (psychiatry is wrong/bad/harmful/awful/vile/a pseudo-science/whatever) has become noticably strange.

As in, it's not often even raised as an issue (or an issue related to his films he's supposedly promoting) and yet there he is, at the drop of a hat, talking about the same one-note theme, such that it seems beyond odd.

But, Cruise has a point about this issue, particularly lately, when the political agenda (read, the Liberal philosophy if not communism as ideology) by the current bane of outspoken "American" pscyhiatrists/psychologists is, actually, rather appropriate.

I was just wondering if Cruise may be saying something really important and worthy of consideration but the point is being lost in his otherwise preoccupation with Scientology.
