Oh, give me a freaking break.

There are so many holes, misquotes and half-truths in this article that I won't even bother debating it here (I will, however, debate it over e-mail, if you're gullible and uninformed enough to believe what this article says and feel like telling me how wrong I am).

Don't get me wrong. The Church of Scientology's Citizen's Commission on Human Rights does some good work sometimes; but they are dead-set against the practice of psychiatry in general, and they've latched onto ADD & Ritalin as a convenient scapegoat for their battle, spreading half-baked propaganda that has the potential to do a lot more harm than good. It's sickening; and, since the CCHR are often called to testify as so-called expert witnesses at hearings which could very well determine my rights to seek appropriate help for myself and any future children I might have with ADD, it's also scary.
