To those demanding a definition of free will:
A moment ago you took an action resulting in your ability to read
this message.  At that moment you were exercising your free will.
Now that you have experienced it, defining it will be a simple
matter of picking the right words for yourself.

If it will help: first pick a genus to which it belongs
  and then select the necessary differentia to satisfy yourself.

Now, wasn't that easy!!!  Aren't you glad you have a free will to
  enable you to do it?
