The people who push these sorts of things through are cagers and corporations. %50 of bikers are pro-choice on the matter. The stats say like 400 people a year would not die if everyone wore a helmet, vs the hundreds of millions that die every year from other causes. Where's the outrage?!? Helmets are "curing the symptom" IMO, the disease that needs addressing and would benefit everyone IS CRAPPY DRIVERS!!! The US is falling farther and farther behind other countries in making sure the driving populace is properly skilled for the task. We are really good at crappy driving, and good at blaming whatever we hit for us having hit it in the first place.

You folks are distracted, there is a moose on the table here.
