三聚氰胺の惡夢
根據美國食物及藥物管理局的標準，三聚氰胺的安全參考值（即每日可容忍攝入量）為每日每公斤體重0.63毫克。由於三十六個月以下嬰幼兒對「三聚氰胺」較為敏感，其每日可容忍攝入量則訂為每日每公斤體重0.32毫克。
只要長期平均的攝入量不超出安全參考值，偶爾超出這個參考值並不會影響健康。
就被檢出含百萬分之3.2的馬拉糕樣本，如一個10公斤（約三歲）的幼童每天食用約1公斤（假設每件淨重約126克，即約8件）有關馬拉糕，或一個體重60公斤的成年人每天食用約11.8公斤（假設每件淨重約126克，即約94件）該產品，其「三聚氰胺」攝入量可達每日可容忍攝入量。
食物安全中心預計明日會取得檢測結果的產品包括奶及奶類飲品、蛋糕、餅乾、芝士、朱古力及忌廉。
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Is anyone really going to eat 94 pieces of 馬拉糕 a day? Or under any normal circumstances, would any parents let a 3 year old child eat 8 pieces of 馬拉糕 a day?
These reports creates nothing but chaos and panic in our everyday lives. Can't they give us more relevant information, instead of warning us about not eating 94 pieces of 馬拉糕 to potential harm our kidneys?
Seems like the Hong Kong government is only trying to fulfill the responsibility of providing the information, so that they won't have to be blamed again next time. It reflects the government is totally lack of management skills 101 --- to say the right thing at the right time, to give the people a sense of assurance and stability.
The next thing we hear is, everyone in the dim sum restaurant telling everyone else they heard 馬拉糕 is POISONED!!! And even anything with milk product in it, 奶皇包, 蛋撻, etc.
愚笨的政府製造更多無知的茶客, 可悲!!!!!!

Passion World Tour 2008@Vancouver ~ Sharing
Last night's Passion Worship was a soul awakening experience for a lot of us (and jaw dropping too). It was definitely not just for teenagers, it was a worship experience that moved all ages!!!
10000 voices worshipping, dancing, praying together shouting Jesus is King, singing Amazing Grace, it was such a wonderful sound!!!! (I wish I can jump up and down like the others do!!!! >.<)
The speaker of the night asked us, why we would be reserved in responding to God's grace? We (esp. adults and esp. the analytical ones) would always like to keep our cool, but in that same GM place, exactly that same arena, when the Canucks scores, ALL GENERATIONS MEN AND WOMEN would jump off their seats and shout and cheer at the same time.
Shouldn't God's grace be more powerful than that little puck going into the net?
It totally reminds me, our usual Sunday worship and our usual life is like luke warm water, just getting by every week, but we were like being put into boiling water last night, God can be this HOT and this great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! O-M-G!!!
Just want to share with you the opening of the night, this is the power of the spirit, without anyone saying anything, just PowerPoint, words, and music (live music BTW) tears were already falling on my cheeks, before anyone appeared on stage, cuz I know God is here, in our generation, in our city.
Never imagined PowerPoint can be this powerful and moving!!!!
Never imagined the same 8 bars of music can be played repeatedly and can be this glorious!!!
Of course it's unreal to expect this magnitude of worship every week at our local churches (just like mom's boring but nutritious meal can't be compared to all-you-can-eat), but our God is this powerful, we have to remember that! ^^
What a powerful God and a powerful Spirit and a glorious Jesus we saw last night.
And what a reflection of how we should treat our worship every Sunday (esp. us praise team and praise band ^^), God's spirit can be this powerful.
What a reflection of how we should live our lives everyday, this generation and our city can be this precious in God's eyes.
It was the same powerful God that we're worshipping, God can move mountains and shake the grounds, and after all, He can move people!
O-M-G!!!!

尹小小の奇妙旅程
人說：「神啊，自我年幼時，你就教訓我；直到如今，我傳揚你奇妙的作為。
神啊，我到年老髮白的時候，求你不要離棄我！等我將你的能力指示下代，
將你的大能指示後世的人。」
神說：「我要與你，並你世世代代的後裔，堅立我的約，
作永遠的約，是要作你和你後裔的神。」
~ 詩篇71:17-18, 創世記17:7
Man says, “Since my youth, O God, you have taught me, and to this day I declare your marvellous deeds. Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, O God, till I declare your power to the next generation, your might to all who are to come.
God says, “I will establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you.”
~ Psalm 71:17-18, Genesis 17:7

幸福非必然
It was a day of joy for our family, one of our youngest cousin got married today. There were a lot of touching moments during the wedding, but the sharing of the bride and groom brought us all to tears (even my dad!!!)
The groom is the youngest among us cousins, and he is the only boy. Therefore he is also the most spoiled one (heheee...)!!! But today, hearing him said that he was thankful for his parents' support, melted all our hearts.
I'm sure in our parents' heart, they're proud to see finally all of us grew up into fine, responsible and loving man and women. Now that we have established our own families and moved into a whole new chapter in live, we learnt to appreciate their effort as parents a lot more.
I totally agreed with KK and Vicky: 幸福非必然, and we are very blessed to have very supportive and loving parents, who let us do and try whatever pleases our hearts. They always trust us and give us freedom to decide our destiny, and always provide us the best in physically need and in spiritual support. They never say no to things that we asked for, and they even provide things that we haven't asked.
We are all spoiled princesses and prince.
I'm sure for all of our parents, it just feels like yesterday when they took us to swimming in CUHK, or skating lessons in Railey Park, or taught us how to bike in the back alley of the Wong's, or threw kids birthday parties at each others' homes, or watched CNY fireworks at grandma/grandpa's million dollar view 7th floor "oak chuen" twin-unit. We thank you for giving us all of the beautiful memories in our childhood, and we are grateful to be your daughters and sons.
Dad, mom, porpor, yeema, yeeyee, yeejeung, goojei, goojeung, (and gonggong, mahmah, yehyeh in heaven)...
"We love you all, and thank you for shaping our lives into who we are today!!!"

全因有你
絃獻歌集：燃獻生命祭
版權屬絃獻音樂敬拜事工所有
是你將生命燃亮，年月裡拆毀再建造，
以往的掙扎，常恐怕再出現，
但你讓我在你懷裡重享安息。
是你打開心眼睛，無限愛震驚我眼目，
以血的洗禮神忍痛去受罪，
留下血淚愛為我，完成罪過抵償！
靈魂如今有你，就得釋放，
那劃破空間的愛常超出我所想，
靈魂全因有你，就得拯救，
縱壽歲天天減退，神恩典卻未有失去。

神啊！你在哪兒？
曲、詞：盧永亨 © Music 2000
我的天，為何總下著雨，遙望長空，神啊！你在哪兒？
如若這匆匆生命真有豐盛意義，何以要面對沉痛失意。
我的心，像迷失在絕處，前路無光，神啊！你在哪兒？
難道這一生彷彿只有不幸際遇，神啊！你別要無言不語！
我沒法控制狂風的方向，也未能知曉，那日方可重見艷陽，
但我知主的手總會守在我旁，前景雖灰暗，信念未搖晃。
我沒法掌管潮水的升降，也未能阻擋遍地冰霜，隨處跌盪，
但我知，主恩典，足夠克服駭浪，無力的心可變堅壯。
--------------------------------------
今天晚上，我切切地感受到人間的失望，無助，孤單。原來人最終都是自私的，若不是神先愛我，今天我會成為一個怎樣的人呢?
同一個晚上，我也從看見月蝕中，切切地體會神創造的奇妙可畏。
Psalms 8:3-4 ~ "When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?"
Mark 4:40 ~ "Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?"
Psalm 121:1-2 ~ "I lift up my eyes to the hills—where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth."

An Apology and Closure
Regardless if this is written by him or his lawyer, at least his attitude shows he is more sincere than「我承認以前係好天真同好傻，但係現在己經長大了」 Hope Edison's apology would bring an end to this madness lately, and hope him and the others involved will have a new beginning from now on. It would be wonderful if he can use his life and previous mistakes to share with and teach other young people. This whole "strange ordeal" is such a lose-lose situation, no one wins except Satan, sigh!!! Pray for all of them to be touched and used by God one way or another...
2 Corinthians 5:16-17 ~
So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!
陳冠希：永遠退出娛樂圈 (明報)
藝人裸照事件主角陳冠希，承諾永久退出香港娛樂圈，他發言時十多次說「對不起」，懇求大家給他一個機會。陳冠希在記者會中宣讀聲明時，承認網上流傳的藝人裸照，是他拍攝的，他從沒有逃避責任，但他強調，照片是私人的，他從沒有打算公開展示這批照片，又說照片是有人在未經他允許下，非法取得。
陳冠希在發言中不下十數次向事件中的受害女性，她們的家人、自己的父母、朋友，香港的青少年人，以及全香港人道歉，並說自己是很誠懇、出自內心的道歉。
他說，自己作出一個重要的決定，就是完成手上的工作後，將永久退出香港的娛樂圈，未來數月，他將從事慈善工作。
他又說，青少年會模倣偶像，但自己是一個失敗的偶像，不能成為榜樣，自己汲取了教訓，也希望青少年從事件中汲取教訓。
他又說，從第一天開始，自己就有協助警方追查案件，以後亦會這樣做，他希望，事件可以盡快完結。目前首要的事，就是阻止照片再流傳，他已要求自己的律師採取法律行動，阻止照片再流傳，以保護無辜受害的人。
陳冠希最後再次說，希望得到大家寬恕。說到這裏，他似是難以繼續說下去，雙目亦開始微紅。稍停之後，他就再次說，希望大家接受他的道歉，給他一個機會。
陳冠希今天穿著整齊的西裝襯衣，頭髮梳理整齊，但不像平日般型格，他的表情沉著，語調盡量表現得誠懇。由於記者會不設答問環節，他發言後隨即離開。

Who are we to judge others?
I read the following on the news today, I think our world is so ridiculous and our perception is just so twisted!!!
A few years ago, I still remember people were over reacting and phoning the Boardcasting Review Agency to complain when Joyce Cheng was performing as "Snow White", and all of a sudden, people's view changed 180 degrees??
Not that I have any bias towards Joyce. Personally I admire her discipline and perseverance to loose so much weight in the past few years. I know it's not easy and it takes a lot of effort (at least I can't do it!!) I never feel there was anything wrong with her and her performance. She was just an ordinary girl, brought up in a single mom family, in Vancouver. Nothing wrong, and nothing out of the ordinary (except she has a mom who is a celebrity).
So who are we to judge if she is "成功洗底" or not???? These articles are just twisting our values, who are we to say she was not good enough before, and all of a sudden is good enough now?
These are articles on the news, and it totally shows how shallow the writers are. It shows how they use their pens to blow up and emotionalize simple things in people lives.
If this is all our next generation's gonna read and learn, what would our future be like? Shallow and judgmental??? OMG!!!!!!!!!!!
If I can voice out my two cents, all I want to say is, people, just be yourself and live your dreams. We are not worthy only when people say we are, we are worthy because we were created by the almighty God and bought by a high price on the cross.
堅強面對喪母痛贏民心 欣宜獲網友力撐入樂壇
欣宜月內痛失母親及外婆兩位至親，她昨日在記者會上談及肥姐時一度泣不成聲，場面令人心酸。不過，年紀輕輕的欣宜繼承了母親的堅強性格，矢言會爭氣，努力學做一個有承擔的女人。
網民大表同情
對於欣宜的堅強表現，不少網友在討論區表示同情之餘，更非常支持她加入樂壇，稱讚她的歌藝比很多樂壇新人更佳，支持欣宜繼承肥姐的遺願，成為出色藝人。由此可見，欣宜的孝義表現已為她成功洗底，爭回大眾的愛戴。

除了天真和傻之外，還有對錯﹗
蔡子強~中文大學政治與行政學系高級導師
(明報) 02月 15日 星期五 05:05AM
【明報專訊】香港最值得一提的spin doctor，當然不是劉細良，又或者何安達，而是英皇娛樂王牌經理人──Mani霍汶希。
朋友劉細良在未加入政府之前，曾經與筆者在《明報》一起撰寫這個專欄，其中一篇令我印象最深刻的，就是談到：在香港，spin的文化，最成行成市的，並不是本地政壇，反而是娛樂圈；最值得參考的spin doctor心得，不是什麼心戰室實錄，而是英皇娛樂王牌經理人Mani霍汶希的手記。
「每天具體執行spin功能的人士，最專業的是一幫娛星經理人，當藝人醉酒打人或被狗仔隊伏擊，甚或拍得與北方佳麗上房過夜照片時，他們便要與『乜周物周』的娛樂總編『拆』，提出交換條件，希望影響編輯手下留情，平時飲茶灌水免費晚餐演唱會『飛』少不了，所以大家周不時見到一些明星無端端上封面，而且係正面報道，就知道是幕後spin doctor發功了。」
我想兩年多之後的今天，如果細良有機會再重寫同一篇文時，他一定會加上這個新的素材──周一阿嬌的記者會。
機關算盡的發言和記者會
短短分半鐘的記者會，140多字，機關算盡的發言，滴水不進，我敢打賭，當中一定有很多公關和法律顧問的意見。
不是嗎﹖事件的對錯，以「我承認以前係好天真同好傻，但係現在己經長大了」短短兩句說話，輕描淡寫的帶過，相片的真偽，完全不再提及，要迴避的，當然是其公司英皇集團當初「移花接木」的指控，及可能的法律責任，而「天真」和「傻」兩個形容詞，更與Twins 一貫苦心經營純情、可愛形象，配合得天衣無縫。
霍汶希更聲明，英皇所有藝人將永遠就事件封口，不會再評論事件，美其名為免事件擴大，令藝人受到傷害；而阿嬌的發言不長於分半鐘，不設記者發問，這都可確保新聞報道時，可以讓「官方」苦心設定的版本，原原本本出街，避免讓傳媒斷章取義。
阿嬌發言前，歌迷送上一個寫上：「一定繼續撐孖女，We Support Twins Forever」的蛋糕；發言時，又有秩序地排在後方高舉「一定永遠支持Twins」的燈牌；發言後，又大叫「支持你」、「支持你」……的口號。這簡直是一個經過精心策劃的電視畫面。有報章暗示，歌迷由公司一手包辦。
Timing也是一絕，記者會的明日，剛巧就是老闆新股上市的日子，恰好趕得及「拆彈」。
對錯、教訓，都被spin一一掩蓋。
但問題正正是，愈把問題這樣輕描淡寫的帶過，就愈把對錯、責任、教訓等重要問題，一一掩蓋，令社會把學費白交了。
我並不是一個性觀念保守的人，兩個人，關了門，如何男歡女愛，本來不需要旁人指手劃腳。但問題是，今次牽涉的都是公眾人物，是被公司、傳媒、電台（包括港台），甚至政府部門，力捧的年輕人偶像，對後生仔有重大的示範作用。當這些藝人義不容辭的走去當什麼「滅罪、禁毒、太陽計劃……之星」時，在讓自己增添人氣，接受群眾和鎂光燈簇擁之外，他們有否想過自己一言一行的社會責任呢﹖如果阿嬌只是一個寂寂無聞的尋常普通人，不是公眾人物，我們就有更多的理由，對她更加包容。
又或者，如果她是未夠18歲的「後生女」，我們也有更多的理由，對她更加寬容；但一個成年人，一個27歲的成年人，就不能單單以一句「天真和傻」，來迴避對錯，迴避責任。
我想大家的要求十分簡單，闖禍不是世界末日，沒有人要求從此要讓你永不翻身，但最起碼，不能文過飾非，對錯、責任、教訓等問題，要有一個交代。
事件中，有什麼對錯﹖
上月27日，即事件爆發的首天，英皇集團曾公開聲稱相片是遭「移花接木」，並就事件報警，究竟當中是否有人「報假案」、誤導警方、誤導公眾﹖
事件中，有什麼公眾意義﹖
在性觀念開放、Snapshot、後生女對自己身體警戒心日減的今天，阿嬌是否應該講清楚事件對自己所造成的切膚之痛，以及從中汲取到的教訓﹖
這些都不是純粹供大家茶餘飯後「八卦」，而是關乎到下一代成長的重大話題，但是今天在spin的考慮，spin的文化下，都被一一放過。
或許你會指摘我以一個男性霸權的角度來看整件事，那麼我介紹大家看看徐詠璇，周三在《信報》其專欄所寫的文章：
「阿嬌以『天真』和『傻』這些純情、可愛的字眼，將事件輕輕帶過。是她真的不覺得拍這些四級照片有何不妥？抑或是她旁邊的人拍拍心口，告訴她一切等閒？……令人失望的，是阿嬌有太多人包庇照顧，令她也繼續沉溺在虛偽、荒淫、跟紅頂白的最劣的娛樂圈染缸裏。這次過了關，厚臉皮，博大家忘記，久而不聞其臭，還贏得個『勇敢』面對人生的稱號。背誦了這一大篇話之後，她可能長大了，只是，不見得變好了。」
在性觀念開放、Snapshot、後生女對自己身體警戒心日減的今天，我想徐詠璇正正道出很多母親心中對女兒的擔憂。
以前娛樂圈提到化妝師，人們只會想起「輝哥」（陳文輝）；今天提起化妝師，大家恐怕想起的，卻是Mani。而比起前者，後者為藝人化的妝，或許更加巧奪天工；化妝前後，更加判若兩人。

「每天具體執行spin功能的人士，最專業的是一幫娛星經理人，當藝人醉酒打人或被狗仔隊伏擊，甚或拍得與北方佳麗上房過夜照片時，他們便要與『乜周物周』的娛樂總編『拆』，提出交換條件，希望影響編輯手下留情，平時飲茶灌水免費晚餐演唱會『飛』少不了，所以大家周不時見到一些明星無端端上封面，而且係正面報道，就知道是幕後spin doctor發功了。」
我想兩年多之後的今天，如果細良有機會再重寫同一篇文時，他一定會加上這個新的素材──周一阿嬌的記者會。
機關算盡的發言和記者會
短短分半鐘的記者會，140多字，機關算盡的發言，滴水不進，我敢打賭，當中一定有很多公關和法律顧問的意見。
不是嗎﹖事件的對錯，以「我承認以前係好天真同好傻，但係現在己經長大了」短短兩句說話，輕描淡寫的帶過，相片的真偽，完全不再提及，要迴避的，當然是其公司英皇集團當初「移花接木」的指控，及可能的法律責任，而「天真」和「傻」兩個形容詞，更與Twins 一貫苦心經營純情、可愛形象，配合得天衣無縫。
霍汶希更聲明，英皇所有藝人將永遠就事件封口，不會再評論事件，美其名為免事件擴大，令藝人受到傷害；而阿嬌的發言不長於分半鐘，不設記者發問，這都可確保新聞報道時，可以讓「官方」苦心設定的版本，原原本本出街，避免讓傳媒斷章取義。
阿嬌發言前，歌迷送上一個寫上：「一定繼續撐孖女，We Support Twins Forever」的蛋糕；發言時，又有秩序地排在後方高舉「一定永遠支持Twins」的燈牌；發言後，又大叫「支持你」、「支持你」……的口號。這簡直是一個經過精心策劃的電視畫面。有報章暗示，歌迷由公司一手包辦。
Timing也是一絕，記者會的明日，剛巧就是老闆新股上市的日子，恰好趕得及「拆彈」。
對錯、教訓，都被spin一一掩蓋。
但問題正正是，愈把問題這樣輕描淡寫的帶過，就愈把對錯、責任、教訓等重要問題，一一掩蓋，令社會把學費白交了。
我並不是一個性觀念保守的人，兩個人，關了門，如何男歡女愛，本來不需要旁人指手劃腳。但問題是，今次牽涉的都是公眾人物，是被公司、傳媒、電台（包括港台），甚至政府部門，力捧的年輕人偶像，對後生仔有重大的示範作用。當這些藝人義不容辭的走去當什麼「滅罪、禁毒、太陽計劃……之星」時，在讓自己增添人氣，接受群眾和鎂光燈簇擁之外，他們有否想過自己一言一行的社會責任呢﹖如果阿嬌只是一個寂寂無聞的尋常普通人，不是公眾人物，我們就有更多的理由，對她更加包容。
又或者，如果她是未夠18歲的「後生女」，我們也有更多的理由，對她更加寬容；但一個成年人，一個27歲的成年人，就不能單單以一句「天真和傻」，來迴避對錯，迴避責任。
我想大家的要求十分簡單，闖禍不是世界末日，沒有人要求從此要讓你永不翻身，但最起碼，不能文過飾非，對錯、責任、教訓等問題，要有一個交代。
事件中，有什麼對錯﹖
上月27日，即事件爆發的首天，英皇集團曾公開聲稱相片是遭「移花接木」，並就事件報警，究竟當中是否有人「報假案」、誤導警方、誤導公眾﹖
事件中，有什麼公眾意義﹖
在性觀念開放、Snapshot、後生女對自己身體警戒心日減的今天，阿嬌是否應該講清楚事件對自己所造成的切膚之痛，以及從中汲取到的教訓﹖
這些都不是純粹供大家茶餘飯後「八卦」，而是關乎到下一代成長的重大話題，但是今天在spin的考慮，spin的文化下，都被一一放過。
或許你會指摘我以一個男性霸權的角度來看整件事，那麼我介紹大家看看徐詠璇，周三在《信報》其專欄所寫的文章：
「阿嬌以『天真』和『傻』這些純情、可愛的字眼，將事件輕輕帶過。是她真的不覺得拍這些四級照片有何不妥？抑或是她旁邊的人拍拍心口，告訴她一切等閒？……令人失望的，是阿嬌有太多人包庇照顧，令她也繼續沉溺在虛偽、荒淫、跟紅頂白的最劣的娛樂圈染缸裏。這次過了關，厚臉皮，博大家忘記，久而不聞其臭，還贏得個『勇敢』面對人生的稱號。背誦了這一大篇話之後，她可能長大了，只是，不見得變好了。」
在性觀念開放、Snapshot、後生女對自己身體警戒心日減的今天，我想徐詠璇正正道出很多母親心中對女兒的擔憂。
以前娛樂圈提到化妝師，人們只會想起「輝哥」（陳文輝）；今天提起化妝師，大家恐怕想起的，卻是Mani。而比起前者，後者為藝人化的妝，或許更加巧奪天工；化妝前後，更加判若兩人。

一些簡單顯淺的道理
Do you agree on this writer's view?
【明報專訊】如果筆者是錯的，歡迎指正。《郭繾澂》
（1）侵犯別人的私隱，未經當事人同意，是不道德的；
（2）侵犯他人私隱，認為他人私隱不道德，是自己不道德在先；
（3）男歡女愛，只要已屆合法年齡，喜歡怎樣，在沒影響他人之下，是他們的事；
（4）你對偶像的期望，是你個人的事；期望有偏差，也是你個人的事，可以自我調整，與他人無關；
（5）被侵犯私隱的，與公眾利益無關，應是受害者；
（6）受害者，應予以同情，至少不應加倍傷害；
（7）盜取他人私隱，是盜竊行為，不應縱容；
（8）即使在合法途徑之下，取得他人私隱，仍是不道德行為；
（9）如自己不道德地窺探他人私隱，沒權批評他人私底下不道德；
（10）誰都有權使用拍攝工具拍下個人私隱；
（11）不小心泄露個人私隱，只算不小心、不智，不等同發布罪；
（12）以非法手段竊取他人私隱並廣泛發布，屬刑事罪行；
（13）在你情我願之下，私人拍攝親熱照片，非刑事罪，也不算不道德；
（14）女性有權拒絕拍攝任何危害她本人聲譽的照片；
（15）女性拒絕拍攝上述照片是恰當的自保行為；
（16）萬一在兩情相悅之下拍了同類照片，如只認為作私下觀賞，沒有發布的企圖，也沒有違反道德操守；
（17）私下拍攝親熱照不應與盜取他人親熱照公開發布相提並論，不等於不拍親熱照就不會被公開的歪理可以合理化；
（18）選擇性執法只是不公平，不等於非法行為就是合法。

All of them did the same level of sin/wrong, and all of the are all very "cham" cuz they don't know what they're doing is right or wrong and they all got nude pics all over the world.
And people online are treating Edison like criminal...actually I agree he is addicted to sex act...but just like any other addiction and he is not the one posting all these pics online...just like Jesus always says...we all did things in the dark that we can't let the world see...lots of secret sins...who are we to judge that Edison is right or wrong...and who are we to say that we "forgive" Gillian???? People on one side enjoy these nude pics at home...watching them...talking about them...and on the other side condemning the photo taker????? What a wicked world??????????!!!!!!!!!
