Since the Proof of Bell's theorem in the 1960's the impression
has grown that it implies that quantum mechanics is a non-local theory,
and even people who should know better talk about quantum mechanics as if
it is non-local. I will review some of the issues, and try to make as good
a case as I can for its non-locality, but ultimately argue that it is a
local theory. But along the way many of the most unusual features of
quantum mechanics will be reviewed, and some philosophical issues
regarding counterfactual reasoning will be discussed.
