Travolta disapproves of anti-depressants...too.
NEW YORK - John Travolta says his thinking is in line with fellow Scientologist Tom Cruise, who has publicly defended the religion’s stance against psychiatry and the pharmaceutical industry.

“I don’t disagree with anything Tom says,” Travolta says in the July issue of W magazine, on newsstands Friday. “How would I have presented it? Maybe differently than how he did, but it doesn’t matter. I still think that if you analyze most of the school shootings, it is not gun control. It is (psychotropic) drugs at the bottom of it.”

Travolta, 53, portrays Ms. Edna Turnblad in “Hairspray,” the adaptation of the stage musical that was spun from the 1988 John Waters film of the same name. The new film opens July 20. The role, in which he dons a fat suit and feminine garb, has added fuel to ongoing speculation about his sexuality.

“I have never been compelled to share with you my bathroom habits or share with you my bedroom habits,” says the married father of two. “Everyone has a right to privacy, so I have never felt — even though I am famous — that I had to share that with anybody.”

2. Really? I bet some would probably indicate Travolta/Tom as proof of the importance of said drugs.
:P

5. Psychiatric meds *cause* school shootings? Now I've heard everything.
So tell me, Dr. Revolta, what meds was Seung Cho on again? Oh, that's right, he never went to his court-ordered treatment. :eyes:

Local RW shill and failed legislative candidate Jerry Coffee managed to blame civil rights for the VT tragedy, but this has got to rank right up there. In fact, Revolta has been spewing his tripe out here: wouldn't you know, his wife Kelly Preston is a local girl, and so there were the two of them at a recent benefit for $cientology front group Narconon, complete with fawning coverage from the local press. :puke:

8. Then you should have been around here
You should have read messages after the Virginia Tech shooting. There were tons around here making the same exact claim about psychiatric drugs.
