Are you saying we should wear helmets voluntarily simply to avoid having them mandatory?

I must be an idiot, because I can't see the difference, since either way we're wearing a helmet.

OTOH history says the opposite is true. Once a segment becomes a minority, then a small enough minority, then government feels secure enough to ring in the outliers.
