	From Webster's seventh new collegiate dictionary:

Free will n 1: the power asserted of moral beings of choosing within 
limitations or with respect to some matters without restraint of physical
or divine necessity or causal law 2: the ability to choose between
alternatives so that the choice and action are to an extent creatively
determined by the conscious subject.

	Number TWO is STILL valid, even if I concede hard determinism.
