Free Will is generally referred to in the context of holding people morally responsible for the actions they take. However, we also hold people morally responsible for the actions they fail to take.
If Free-Will is defined as those actions (or inactions) for which we hold people morally responsible. Then this whole thread is over. Free Will does exist, because it is undeniable that we individually and as a society hold people accountable. We can then label unintentional actions as "Free Will" actions by virtue of holding people accountable for them. You know like throwing negligent people in prison for forgetting their infants in the back seat of hot cars.
We can all meet over in the Justice is a Universal thread. And start over there.
