    I am certainly grateful that you have rehashed high school philosophy for me.

I'm actually pretty well read on the subject, and I happen to have a much more simplistic view than many people. Its not a complicated idea, and its been written about since the dawn of thought. It may be boring, but its logically unassailable. Will and choice are inseparable. Lack of will implies a necessarily nihilistic world view, and I reject that on principle. Apologies if this doesn't meet your obvious standard of excellence in philosophic thought.
