Agreed.

Alla:

Sorry for continuing bugging, but since I am often in agreement with 
95% of what you write, I want to figure out whether I am in 
disagreement this time or wheI am still confused.:o)

I agree with you about free will, I guess I am just thinking that 
free will has to come from somewhere too, initially at least.

OK, let me try to rephrase my question again - how does Harry KNOW 
which decisions are right? What helps him: higher power? generation 
memory? What?
