Free will is simply another choice, and nothing more or less then a choice to be made. And not making a choice is still a choice made either way.

I would tend to agree with you Robby. I can't totally ignore the basic question tho, if perception forms our reality then what happens if our perception is distorted because of any number of reasons? Two diferent people could be placed in the same garden of eden, one might see it as heaven on earth and the other as a living hell. Just different perceptions of the same reality.
