Hello Whoopi, I just love you! Truth is, if you were not on the view I would not be watching it. I appreciate the way you handle everything and everybody- REAL. I'm not star struck, there is just something so very special about you. Congratulation on all of your accomplishments and I hope that you continue to be the Star that you are.

Thank you Whoopi for your comments on Michael Jackson...you expressed what I felt all along. I oviously didn't know him like personally, but I "grew up" with him and came to love and admire him...not only for his obvious musical and production talent but for the tremendous love he showed for the powerless in the world...that love he demonstrated in so many tangible ways is more indicative of the man he was than any sordid media gossip or even dare I say even his music.

Ms. Goldberg spoke as an authority that Michael Jackson was acquitted of pedophile charges. He was not. HE SETTLED ALL CASES OUT OF COURT. THAT IS A BIG DIFFERENCE.

Can i ask you a favor. In 1981 when i was 11 year old i got hit by a car and flew in the air past the electrical wire crashing face first on to the earth. People thought i was dead but i was just knock out. Can you find Dr. Heart and the other Dr. who's name I don't remember. I would like thank them for fixing me. They worked at the Baptist hospital in Jacksonville FL and also find the amblance workers it was a guy and a girl. They were so nice. Thanks!

What's the cure for aids? What's the key to a healthy life. A slave free mind and lots of spice. Call Aids what it truly is Super Cancer. Cancer and Aids both infect the white blood cells. The T cells are the Last line of defense. Please put me on the front lines so i can investigate this. I want to go to the bad doctors and give them a taste of their own medicine and then put them in jail forever. See the book of Esther in the Bible. WARNING the world.

Daniel Parr Preach to us on his death bed. He sent out a flyer saying forsake not the little ones for such is the kingdom of God. The service was on a school night. Pastor Parr had cancer real bad he could hardly stand on his own.and his voice was raspy. It was so sad but beautiful at the same time he preached to us but I do not remember what he said. But I do remember his actions. The only thing I remember him saying is don't cry for me I'm going to a better place. Thereafter, he told all the kids to come up and give him a hug. But I stayed behind in the darkness because I could not stop crying, my whole dress was wet. However, I peeked over and saw the beautiful seen of all the kids in the light hugging the pastor It reminded me of heaven. After wards the young men in the church was looking for me so I Pretended i was sleep. well that it for now I hope you can help.

I need video archives on two people Bruce Dennis and Daniel Par or Parr they both died years ago. And I think I want to do a movie about them. Bruce fell off a building in Philadelphia I think in 1980 or 1979. Daniel Par Died in 1979 or 1978 or 1980 from cancer. Bruce was my spiritual father he was white and not prejudices. He taught us red and yellow black and white they are precious in his sight Jesus love the little children of the world. He spiritually adopted us because my mom and dad are divorced. He was handsome he had like (I think) five children of his own.
