True enough KC in one sense. One is still able to determine one's own actions in response to an externality. But the decisions of Hitler in invading Poland and carrying on with his various actions was what forced the historic decisions onto Britain. Both Chamberlain and Churchill had to react to the history written by Hitler. My point is that history is jointly written these days. Goedel had a mathematical theorem about this self-referential and self-reverential stuff. Google would be able to give links. If an external influence limits one's choices, then it's playing with words to say one writes one's own history as though there's no externality. Mqurice
