    I met Whoopi Goldberg once, several years ago, when she was performing her one woman comedy show in Philadelphia.  She was unsurprisingly down to earth.

    I remember being in third or fourth grade and watching the news as the Mayor of my city gave the order to fire bomb a city row home.  This naturally resulted in killing several men, women, and children, and also burning down the entire block. The well known incident also inspired the rap song 'the roof is on fire'.  Way to go Philly!  I remember thinking at the time that people in power could do anything and get away with it.  I was right.  Scary.
