There's no chance you'll change your mind? [C] None. [A] Then your 
choice wasn't free.

[Arlo]
You are confusing highly probably with absolute certainty. Maybe in 
the spur of that moment you might think, "you know, I'll give 
broccoli ice-cream a try". You can ague that its about as unlikely as 
can be, but if there was truly absolute certainty in how you would 
act, then you did not make a choice, did you? It is simply a certain 
cause-effect machinistic response. Don't you love the fact that, no 
matter how improbable, there is a chance, a potential, for you to act 
in a way that is not absolutely pre-determined?

Live free, Craig! Order some broccoli ice-cream!
