You don't believe a person can make a totally random decision? Aren't most thoughts random? I think we are guided by some basic needs, and some of our reactions are certainly the result of conditioning, but everything else is completely up to us. If we can stop and think about every single of our actions, we can weigh out the choices and decide for or against it. The theory that ones pattern of thought is conditioned by previous experiences and things we have learned is stretched at best.
