I am not all that sanguine that quantum randomness helps in a search for
personal responsibility. I would expect whatever quantum events occurred to
average out over the long haul and not have that much of an effect on my
brain as a whole.

I keep getting this image of a robot marching down the street and then a
large bubble descending over the robot in cartoon fashion with red and
orange lightning surrounding ***QUANTUM RANDOMNESS HERE*** in flashing
yellow letters. Poof! the robot does random unreasonable things! 

I don't want to walk around entirely determined punctuated by periods of
utterly random behaviour. Somehow that does not fit my notion of how I
behave at all... (snickers from the peanut gallery who think I behave
like that indeed... :-) ).
