I remember very well writing that. But despite my 1970s Arkansas public school grammar and how everything I get wrong is my own fault for not paying attention there are some things I always get right and one of those is "lie". And that error happened twice in one instance.
And then later this AM, after working for a while on this note, the idea occurs to me, with no real regard to paragraph etiquette.
What if.
What if.
What if what if what if what if what if what if what if
What if my theory about this blog being censored is true.
That possibility would allow for a new notion in my mind in this time minutes before 1 AM. What if I have to live like this for more than one century.
Well, the fact is, that is no new notion to my mind.
The only difference these past few minutes is a new sense of confidence that could be really true.
The reason the censorship of my blog gives me confidence in that notion is that there will be no hundreds or thousands or tens thousands or hundreds thousands or how ever many people who will someday wonder why a hundred years from now I am still living and looking, while still feeling extremely very bad, does not seem to be a person almost two centuries old. Because of censorship of my blog right here right now no one will ever know.

Ponder Smith's Deceit, Jury Told
The Jury That Convicted Susan Smith Of Murder Listened To Arguments On Deciding Her Punishment.
July 25, 1995 By New York Times
UNION, S.C. — While the authorities searched for her young sons, Susan Smith watched herself lie to the nation on a taped television newscast, and even smiled at the television screen, a counselor who had come to help her testified Monday in the penalty phase of Smith's capital murder trial.
The counselor, Margaret Frierson, recalled that Smith's incongruous smile occurred during the final days of her nine days of lies, as news reporters were beginning to speculate that Smith might be involved in the disappearance that she had blamed on a carjacker.
''The family was outraged,'' said Frierson, who works in the Columbia, S.C., office of the Adam Walsh Foundation, a center for missing and exploited children. ''I just seemed to notice Susan smiling to herself as she watched herself on television.''

CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A Look Back: 25 Years Since the Fall of the Berlin Wall
On November 9, 1989, after serving as the symbol of the Cold War for decades, the Berlin Wall fell. Its demise signaled the dawn of change not only in Eastern Europe, but the world.
The Berlin Wall started as a barbed wire fence built by the communist East German state (with approval from the Soviet Union) to stop the flow of refugees from East Berlin into West Berlin. For years, the CIA had predicted the East German government would take stern measures to stop border crossers but did not have tactical forewarning that a barrier would be put up starting on August 13, 1961. Stretching 96 miles long, the fence eventually evolved into the now familiar 12 foot high concrete wall, built in 45,000 separate sections, each four feet wide.
The Berlin Wall divided East Berlin and West Berlin for 28 years, from 1961 until November 1989. Typical for totalitarian states, the East German government declared the Wall to be a necessary defense against Western aggression. In reality, the Wall was intended to stop East Germans from seeking freedom in the West. In 1962, a second barrier was placed 100 yards back, creating a no-man’s land, widely known as the “death strip,” useless for defense against the West but clearly intended to prevent escape. It was booby-trapped with tripwires, offered no cover, and provided a clear field of fire to the watching guards. Even so, some 5,000 East Berliners escaped into the western half of the city. Tragically, an estimated 200 people died trying. Although the East German government always denied having a “shoot to kill” policy, the border guards were told to treat attempted defectors—even women and children—as criminals and stop them by whatever means necessary.
The Wall proved a propaganda disaster for the Soviet bloc as a whole. It became a powerful symbol of communist tyranny that Western leaders, starting with President John F. Kennedy, frequently denounced. In 1987, Ronald Reagan gave his famous speech at the Brandenburg Gate, at which he challenged Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev to “tear down this wall.”
Two years later, during the summer of 1989, communist Hungary removed its border restrictions with Austria, and in September, more than 13,000 East German tourists in Hungary escaped to Austria. Demonstrations broke out all over East Germany. The long-time leader of East Germany, Erich Honecker, who in January had predicted that the Berlin Wall would stand for “a hundred more years,” resigned on October 18, replaced by Egon Krenz. By November 4, 1989, the protests had increased significantly, with a million people gathered that day in Alexanderplatz in East Berlin. Meanwhile, the wave of refugees leaving East Germany for the West had increased through Czechoslovakia, tolerated by the new Krenz government and the communist regime in Prague.
To ease the complications, the Krenz government decided on November 9, 1989, to allow refugees and even private travelers to exit directly through crossing points between East Germany and West Germany, including West Berlin. The new regulations were to take effect the next day, on November 10, to allow time to inform the border guards. However, no one told the East German government spokesman, who had not been briefed on the situation but simply had been handed a note to announce that East Berliners would be allowed to cross the border with proper permission. He read the note aloud at the end of the conference and, when asked when the regulations would come into effect, he replied, “As far as I know, effective immediately, without delay.” Nobody, including the East German government, knew that on November 9, 1989, the Wall would start coming down.
Tens of thousands of East Berliners heard the spokesman’s statement live on East German television and soon flooded the checkpoints in the Wall, demanding entry into West Berlin. The surprised and overwhelmed border guards tried to call their superiors, but no East German official was willing to take personal responsibility for issuing orders to use lethal force. Faced with the swelling crowd, the guards finally yielded, opening the checkpoints and allowing people through with little or no identity checking. Ecstatic East Berliners were soon greeted by West Berliners on the other side in a celebration of freedom and reunion. As a result, November 9 is considered the date the Wall fell.
In the days and weeks that followed, people came to the Wall with sledgehammers to chip off souvenir pieces. The first concrete section of the Wall was removed on the 12th. By June 13, 1990 the wall was officially dismantled, and on October 3, 1990 East and West Germany were reunified. The collapse of the Soviet Union would soon follow.
While it is often repeated by some that the CIA and the US Intelligence Community (IC) missed the fall of the Soviet Union, assessments from the time tell a different story. With the demise of the Berlin Wall and the Soviet system in crisis, the CIA in 1989 assessed the Soviet Union under Gorbachev would not survive. In 1990, the IC released a National Intelligence Estimate (NIE), in which it stated, “the Soviet Union as we have known it is finished.(PDF)” (The NIE is an assessment by as many as 17 government agencies and departments regarding a national, regional or transnational issue of high importance, such as the Soviet Union, and is normally briefed to the President and other very senior officials). By the spring of 1991, the CIA warned of a future coup against Gorbachev, how it would take place, and the likelihood of the Soviet Union’s collapse—all accurate predictions of what happened soon after. On December 25, 1991, Gorbachev resigned and the Soviet Union ceased to exist

TONY LONG 06.01.11 7:00 AM
JUNE 1, 1890: CENSUS BUREAU CAN FINALLY KEEP TABS ON GROWING NATION
1890: The U.S. Census Bureau uses a tabulating machine for the first time. Freed of the laborious process of hand-sorting its data, the bureau is able to produce a complete census within two years.
The machine was built by Herman Hollerith, a New York statistician. Hollerith undertook the project under contract from the Census Bureau, which had taken eight years to tabulate its 1880 census, making it effectively out of date before it appeared.
The problem was exacerbated by the mushrooming population of the United States. In 1790, when the first census was taken, the nation had 3.9 million people. By 1860 it had reached 31.4 million. By 1880, with the westward expansion of the nation and the growing urban population, another 19 million Americans were on the books.
It was clear to the census takers that their job would become impossible unless there was a great leap forward in tabulating technology. Enter Hollerith.
Data for his tabulator was taken using a punch card, known as the Hollerith card. For ease of storage it was made the same size as paper currency, and the machine employed spring-loaded needles capable of reading whether or not a hole had been punched. An electric contact was made when a hole was recognized, which rang a bell and sent the data to a counter.
The 1890 census tallied 63 million people. (The most recent count, in 2010, reached nearly 309 million.)
In the wake of this success, Hollerith established a company to market his machine. This company later merged with a couple of other firms, and — eventually — IBM was born.

The American Presidency Project
Ronald Reagan
XL President of the United States: 1981 - 1989
Question-and-Answer Session With Reporters on Production of the MX Missile
December 14, 1982
Q. Why are all these people smiling?
The President. What?
Q. Why are all these folks smiling?
The President. Well, we tell little anecdotes on the way down here to cheer us up.
Representative Michel. It was the whole nature of the meeting.
The President. No, it's really just that we're overjoyed at the opportunity of meeting with all of you.
Q. Just 10 seconds, sir.
The President. What?
Q. We're going live. We just need 10 more seconds. [Laughter] Okay. Go ahead, Mr. President. [Laughter] We may be late, but we get there.
The President. Yes, they told me that I could just tell them to go when I was ready. [Laughter]
Well, this morning I met with a group of leading Republican and Democratic Senators to discuss the future of the MX Peacekeeper missile. And I'm pleased to report that we've reached a bipartisan agreement that we hope will preserve funding for the missile and enable us to continue the restoration of America's defense capabilities.
In recent days, it's become apparent that many Members of Congress agree with my assessment that production of the Peacekeeper is in the national security interests of the United States. At the same time, however, they want to take a closer look at the question of how to base the missile. The agreement we've reached today is a reasonable balancing of those interests.
All of us who met today pledged that in the next few days we'll work with others in the Senate and with Members of the House to secure full congressional assent to this plan.
In closing, let me reaffirm my very strong view that the United States needs to move forward with an effective land-based missile, one that will not only enhance the prospects for a secure America but will also strengthen the hand of our negotiators at the arms conference and the arms control talks in Geneva.
The world in which we live is uncertain at best. And we must be fully prepared in order to protect our interests and defend the cause of peace.
Q. Does the Peacekeeper get dumped?
Q. Mr. President, does that mean dense pack is dead?
The President. That was the first hand up, right there. What?
Q. Does that mean dense pack is dead? Have you agreed to forgo dense pack to reevaluate basing?
The President. No. And let me straighten something out on that whole thing. First of all, our first proposal was—with the MX-that, because they don't all come out of the oven at the same time—there's a progression as they're made—that the first certain number that came off the line simply be placed in Minuteman missiles [silos] while we continued to work on a basing mode, because there was great disagreement about the original concept of the previous administration of the racetrack idea and 4,000 shelters for 200 missiles. We're building-we're only asking for 100.
Congress decided against the idea of placing any of them in Minuteman missiles [silos]. And so we continued and the Defense Department continued with a study of various methods of basing them. And finally the one that—as I've said before and used the expression—that came up with the least warts was the dense pack system. And Congress had also asked that by December we come up with a recommendation. So, we came with that recommendation.
But I have made it clear to them all the time that the important thing is to let us get started with the production of the missiles, because there's going to be a considerable delay in getting them. And if there had been no opportunity, we simply presented the plan, no opportunity to debate or discuss with the Congress on this decision, and so we said, "We're perfectly willing to sit here, if you'll let us start making the missiles, and discuss with you, negotiate, and see if there's any improvement or better plan." And that's always been our position.
Q. Mr. President, what's the compromise? You haven't told us anything about—where is the compromise, and who was involved?
The President. Well, the compromise is going to involve—would you like to explain what the compromise is, John Tower?
Senator Tower. The compromise is simply this: that the funding for production of the MX missile would be retained in the bill, but would be fenced. And the bringing down of the fence would be contingent on two things. The President is required to resubmit a certification of his selection of basing modes, along with information on alternative basing modes. Then the Congress would act under expedited procedure, within 45 days of the submission of the certification, to approve the basing mode recommended by the President or any alternative they might select. But it would require affirmative approval of both Houses of Congress, under expedited procedure so it could not be filibustered.
Q. Mr. President, do you have any
The President. Bill's [Bill Plante, CBS News] hand was up.
Q. Mr. President, let me just ask you this. The Soviets have made it plain that if we build, they'll build more missiles. Can this really lead to any kind of arms control, do you think?
The President. Yes, it can, because participating in our meetings has been General Rowney—is home. They're taking an interlude here in the arms negotiation talks. And he has spoken of the impact that this has had and the seriousness of the negotiations, that the Soviet Union is willing and is negotiating.
And the thing is, this is not in the sense of a bargaining chip that somebody can say, "Well, you're building it just to tear it down." No. We need a modernization. Even if we get the reduction of arms which we're seeking and which there has been some indication that the Soviets are seriously considering, this would not be the missile that would be taken out of circulation.
We need to modernize to catch up with the five generations of missiles that they have been developing while we have stayed static and have not improved in the last 15 years in any of our missiles. We do not match them in accuracy. We do not match them in megatonnage. This is a miss fie that is comparable to their big missiles, their SS18's.
Q. Mr. President, is there any promise—
The President. Him, and then you.
Q. Is there any promise in the reported Soviet offer to cut in half their intermediate missiles now aimed at Europe and Asia? Does that give some promise that maybe they're moving?
The President. Well, I think the very fact that they made a proposal to reduce in numbers reveals that they, too, are concerned. And they became concerned when NATO asked and we agreed to provide comparable intermediate-range missiles, of which there are none now in Europe, as a deterrent to their use of the SS-20's. And, so, the very fact that they have volunteered, it isn't adequate. And it would still leave us at a considerable disadvantage.
I'm going to be able to take one more. And I'll take yours, and then I'm going to—I think these gentlemen here are going to very patiently be available for further questions on this.
Q. Is the passage of this funding proposal, Mr. President, expected in the House and the Senate in this lame-duck session? I know the Senate, but what about the House and the conference committee? Do you expect to. get the whole thing through this time? Is that what the agreement looks at?
The President. You're getting into procedural matters now, having to do with the fact that a bill has passed the House and now before the Senate and there is the need for a continuing resolution and all. And I think that I'm going to walk away and let them handle those questions.
Q. But Tip O'Neill says he won't go for the compromise. So, doesn't that mean you can't win it at all even though you have a Senate agreement?
The President. Well, in my view, Tip's just one vote.
Q. Will you take a question on another subject, Mr. President? What are you going to do if the Social Security Commission doesn't come up with firm recommendations on Friday? And how do you feel about the suggestion made by Senator Dole and others that the White House is just plain scared to touch this issue?
The President. We're not scared to touch the issue. The idea of appointing a commission was supposed to be that the commission would include experts, experts in the field of actuarial statistics and insurance and pension plans, and that since our previous experience had been that all we could succeed in doing was making it a political football and terrorizing the senior citizens—and I don't think that we participated in making it a football or that, but that seemed to be what was happening—that we decided on this bilateral—or bipartisan commission for them to study what was needed to meet the immediate short-fall and to meet the long-range short-fall.
And I'd like to remind you all that for 30 years almost, long before I was ever in public office, I have been making public addresses on the actuarial imbalance of social security, which by 1964 had reached some $300 billion. And yet a year ago when we tried to make a proposal about this, it was denied by the leadership of the other party in the House—it was denied that there was any such emergency confronting us. And now we've already borrowed a billion dollars to keep the program going.
We need a solution, but we appointed a commission. It doesn't seem to me that this is the place for us to be interfering. We're waiting for the commission to come back and tell us, could they agree on a plan; if so, what; or do they have alternatives? Then we will consider those.
But now I'm going to turn you over to these gentlemen, who can answer your specific questions on the subject of the day.
Note: The exchange began at 11:20 a.m. in the Briefing Room at the White House.
