I'm sure this topic has been discussed already in this forum, but Tom Cruise's "Campaign Against Psychiatry" continues to be recycled on the 24-hour news networks and I can't stand it any longer. How can he challenge the efficacy of psychiatric medication and therapy and proclaim that he's "saved people" by informing them of the dangers of psychiatry when he in fact knows nothing about medicine or pharmacology? I don't mind when actors champion human or environmental rights, but please don't throw around "scientology technology" as the cure to disease and pathology. I can understand why the American Psychiatric Association might not send out a press release-- who would want to validate his idiotic statements-- but the general public needs to know that Mr. Cruise is not helping us by using his fame in an effort to "educate" us all. As much as I love H.G. Wells and Steven Spielberg, I don't think I'm going to go and see "War of the Worlds." But the love for Wells and Spielberg is too strong for others, and its likely that without the help of other SDN-er's, this movie is going to be a big hit. So who's with me...?
