   When I read the above, the Pete Seeger song "I Lie" popped immediately   
   into my head.   
      
   Verse 2:   
      
   I don't apologize. Not me. Instead,   
   I say I never said the things I said,   
   Nor did the things some people saw me do,   
   When confronted by some things they know are true.
