My peronal opinion, which is neither eduated nor articulate, is that Free Will and 'Fate' are dichotomous. One cannot generalize the specific, nor can they objectify the subjective, so essentially, within the CONTEXT of an individuals life, there is a high amount of probability in how they will respond to any situation, but there is always a measure of uncertainty. . .So yes, I believe Free Will exists, but that is not to say that individuals act freely.
If that makes sense.
I wish I were CLA sometimes. He has a better background in philosophy than I do, and doubtless he knows of someone who has already taken the same stance as I have, but can phrase it better than I.
