If it doesn't make sense to you then you can append "pseudo-" whenever you talk about deciding something or having free will. We make pseudo-decisions and have pseudo-free will. People who make bad pseudo-decisions get into trouble; I did it against my pseudo-will because he held a gun to my head; and so on. -- Stathis Papaioannou -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
