Cruise may be a bit wacky, but he's on to something about the drugging of children. Too many parents are willfully shoving Ritalin on kids (especially boys) who are simply being boys. I think much of psychiatric medicine is questionable at best. Thomas Szasz (sp.) has written some good work on this subject.
I agree......I think the pharmaceutical co's are behind a lot of this crap coming into the schools because they know there's a nice combination of dim-witted teachers, administrators and parents that can be easily manipulated to turn a child into a cash cow for some of their drug offerings. BTW, is there a site for Thomas (?) that I can check out?
