Yeah, I figured I should exploit put LJ to good use, while I've still got the account. The "Ransom Notes" thing has been well covered, but I had never seen anyone mention the connection with that preposterous Paxil study until today. So many who are offended by the campaign have still been very polite in their complaints, wanting to give Koplewicz the benefit of a doubt and allow that his intentions were good. But the Paxil thing and the can of worms it opens up, I think, sheds a much clearer light on his possible motives, and why he is so dismissive of the criticism.
Worse yet, I have just learned a thing or two about his "social life" -- turns out he's a high-roller in the NY/Hollywood photo-op crowd, loves to rub elbows with stars, governors and billionaires, and yes, naturally, they all think he's The Guardian Angel for poor little broken children everywhere. Frankly, the whole thing is really starting to creep me out. One afternoon of this, and I'm gonna be burned out on activism for a month.
