Actor Tom Cruise created quite a stir on June 25 when he called psychiatry a "pseudoscience," asserted a chemical basis for Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder doesn't exist, and said that anti-depressant drugs masked problems-in-living. He used the actress Brooke Shields as a case in point, citing her postpartum depression, engendering a fair amount of hostility from those who disagreed with him, including Ms. Shields. The New York Times published her rejoinder on July 1. Cruise was criticized by psychiatric apologists and sycophants as irresponsible and dangerous for speaking his mind -- and the truth.

A lot of people seem to have misunderstood what Tom Cruise said. It is not necessarily the case that he's a Scientology-brainwashed wacko, or that his ideas about psychiatry even came from the Church of Scientology. Cruise learned a lot about psychiatry from the writings of psychiatric abolitionist Thomas Szasz. Throughout the world, Szasz is considered an intellectual heavyweight, someone whose ideas about medicine, disease, science, liberty and responsibility should be taken seriously.

Tuor, that is a welcome thought indeed.

There is a lesson to be learnt there.

No one is absolutely nutz or insane, or are they esoterically above us.

Except maybe Pindz, who is both esoterically above us AND insane.

But the point here is, we all have a common point of reference.

It is neither insane or is it sane.

It is what it is. We may choose to believe we are insane, but our common belief that we are not precludes us from accepting our own insanity.

If that is true, then NO ONE is insane, we are all likewise on a different level of supposed sanity.

Hence, why psychiatrists should be hunted down and tarred and feathered in the public square as the voodoo witch doctors they are.

Hell, even meterologists are overpaid as weather predictors, and don't get me started on those people.

Some of the most interesting people I have ever met would be construed as insane, by most peoples' standards.
