The scariest of which is people taking Ritalin just to get through college.

That's precisely my point. The media should get it down to a local level, maybe even down to the guy next door who has actually committed an unproffessional, unreasonable act. In other words, down to a point where the people would
really care. Too many times the media tries to fetch millions of viewer's/listener's attention
using a popular icon of any sort as an attention getter. If it works, they're lucky, for those that pay attention usually only have interests related to the person in question.
Another 2 cents from Joe.
