Free will?

Here is an interesting article on free will. No matter what it says, I will continue to believe that I am a free agent. I imagine life as a rutted road. It is easy and natural to stay in the predetermined rut, but with extraordinary effort, one can leave the rut. Possibly to fall into a different predetermined rut, possibly to create a new one. Of course if people didn't believe in free will, life would lose some of its meaning, and we would have to forgive people like Hitler, Stalin, and Pat Robertson. So maybe it is predetermined that I will not believe in predetermination.

Any thoughts, J? I'm sorry your old post on the subject isn't around anymore for reference!
