@ Kelly
Poorly formed and for the same reason. I -am- my cells..not a slave to them...I -am- my cells, they are not a master to me. There's no separation no slave/master relationship...and none of this has anything to do with whether or not I have free will. Are we just going to repeat ourselves, from here on out? If it was wrong the first time, it won't turn right through repetition.
@Spir
I don;t think that any god is controlling my actions either...but it seems like the bar for free will has to be higher than that? When you describe it, you describe what it is in accordance with, not what it is free from (save god, granted, but unless you believe in a god that's not very informative anyway - more a statement that things that don't exist don't effect us). Doesn't that seem counterintuitive and maybe even a little self defeating?

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
