Those are vague enough that they could support either of our definitions, and the second actually sounds like it supports MINE. If you don't want to think much beyond the casual definition of free will that's fine, but if you're going to respond to arguments like mine or JWB or Xurtio, then you should put a little more thought into what you're actually arguing then you seem to be, as your logic comes across as lazy.
