That should not be a dampener for free-will though !; 12:16 AM, August 29, 2005

PS:There are exceptions also eg a child born in a brothel or detention camp rarely gets to exercise his free will for lack of early grooming so essential to realize our true potential.; 1:53 AM, August 30, 2005

At the same time, knowing that you can effect a change by exercising your free-will really boosts the spirits.
