You don't get it, Anon! Tom would gladly send his troubling kid to Elan. It's right in line w/ his beliefs.

For the community to have 10% to 25% of its men unable to vote or unable to access credit or other privileges of citizenship for the rest of their lives in some states creates a permanently diminished
group within society.

Let's not judge tom cruise on things that he hasn't done yet in a hypothetical situation.  Cruise may be insane, but he does have a point about how instutitionalized drugs are seen as a saveall measure whenever you're feeling bad.  A lot of us here can appericate the fact that just druging somebody up won't solve their problems.  Not to mention that doing it involentarlly or without notification is abusive; as has happened in some out of the US programs.

While I agree that parts of society are over-medicated and that some drugs are overprescribed, I don't believe Cruise's actions are purely hypothetical.  To go on the airwaves and call a fellow celebrity "irresponsible" for taking anti-depressants for post-partum depression influences other pregnant women -- especially when you're Tom Cruise.

Obviously Brooke Shields didn't see it as hypothetical when she responded to him in an Op-Ed in the New York Times.

What about Court ordered overmedication? ::bangin:: Anybody have a comment on that one?

I think it's wrong unless you're uncontrollably violent and putting others in danger.  The government has enough power already -- we shouldn't give it more.

Although, I'd like a court to order the Bush administration to take some thorazine.
