tsk. tsk. tsk. 
You're not one of those free will nuts, are you? Come on, any position
other than a determinist position is insane. You are confessing that yourself
unconsciously. Look back at your above post and tell me if the decisions
are really yours if the situation dictates them. I don't care about the
freedom interpretation--I refuse to argue over it's definition--but I
don't think you can defend your claim to free will.
