Cruise/Lauer spat highlights scientology beliefs

Tangentially interesting to the gonzo scientist because Scientology is of some interest: It's a cult/religion started by a science-fiction writer, and it has its share of roles to play in conspiracy-style rumors.

In this article Tom Cruise is seen to be very intelligently debating the overuse of psychiatric drugs, and mention is made of the dubious history/value of psychiatry as a science.

Now, we're no scientologists -- William S. Burroughs has some great material against them -- but the scientologists may in fact be full of shit and yet be right on in their critique of psychiatry.
