Wow, that's amusing.

When I was younger, this was why I would read all sorts of lightweight books on quantum mechanics. I hated the idea of a mechanistic universe, as it did not seem to allow for the possibility of choice. Quantum mechanics offered a way out in its apparent "randomness" (albeit vaguely and rather strangely).

In fact, not so long ago I was debating with someone, defending the existence of free will along these lines (of course more informally and intuitively, as I am not a physicist). It's nice to see more informed people making the argument.
