I'd just like to point out that there's freewill, and there's *freewill*.  I mean, I have the freewill to go to any college I want, right?  But I don't have the *freewill*.  I'll go where my parents make me.  Family honor/tradition dictates life for alot of people.  Just because there's the option to do something doesn't mean that you can always take it -- even if it is the right thing.
