What's posted above pretty much sums it up, but doesn't mention the joker in the solitaire: consiousness. We are aware of our actions, a factor that doesn't fit into the equation. Whether we just feel like we have a say in what we do or if we in fact have control over our actions can, in my opinion, not be answered until we figure out why the hell we know we exist in the first place. The self must be defined before we can decide whether the self is a passive spectator or an active initiator.

But yeah, most of the time I don't think there is free will. I want there to be, though.
