Why is it that "free will" can't be argued for in it's own right? We've got one of you making constant appeals to consequence, and the other attempting to appeal to hypocrisy. "Free will" is starting to look like an elusive trait that makes people talk like complete knobs, but it's unclear what else it does. So much for our big, complex brains and massive differences from dumb animals........
