So are you saying it is, or is not, odd that a decision made here can affect something a light year away? If you don't find that odd that's great for you; you obviously have a far more intuitive understanding of the universe than most people.
Assuming that it actually effects a particle at a distance, it is odd. But I simply see it as a oddity of the collapse of the wave function, which is no more surprising than finding just one photon in a double slit experiment even when the detectors are space like separated.
