Ritalin
Look, I have always hated the idea of Ritalin.
Hearing Henry Rollins do his spoken word bit about his experiences with Ritalin just confirmed all my uninformed prejudices.
But, today I have seen something that I think is the most perfect, and most heart-rending, argument against it ever.
Make with the clickie and see for yourself.

The pharmaceutical industry makes billions of dollars drugging school children and this is a form of genocide: condemning millions of young lives to a drug addicted future. They employ “experts” and lobbyist and hire ex FDA personnel and retired congressman to get pro-drug legislation passed. Newspapers and magazines receive billions of dollars a year in advertising, and investment firms make big bucks touting the latest snake oil; so it would be a rare article indeed that went against Big Pharma. The industry is motivated by the bottom line and shareholders not Science. A Google search of Ritalin and Cocaine, Prozac, school shootings, will show even the most skeptical that something is horribly wrong when 6 million school children ( plans are in place to increase this by 40% each year) are on anti-depressant drugs prescribed to handle “disorders” created to sell the drugs.
