I at one point was a libertarian. I know that our decisions are made in a beautifully complex biochemical reaction, but I always thought of that as the vehicle in which we come to the decision. It has since occurred to me that we can alter the variables anatomically and so a person may have a different response to the same inquiry. So that's why I voted for determinism. I don't think anything is preordained and I do think punishment is still important because that is one of the variables used in our decision making. To remove it and you will see a change in behavior.
