If it is to wear helmets...then that is what the law will demand. If it is to use insurance to passively force helmets on our heads, then so be that too (And by the way...last I saw some states were using insurance and illegal hiring practices to "weed" out smokers...and to some effect, fat ppl). Today it is kind of mute to argue this point, seeing there are helmet laws for motorcycles, helmet laws for kids, and helmet rules for professional riders. Handwriting is on the wall, best get used to wearing a helmet.
Two points: Firstly, "It's inevitable, so you should do it now" might be the worst argument I have ever encountered on the subject. Secondly, freedom is winning on quite a few fronts in this country, at the moment. You'd do well to ask pot smokers or firearm* carriers about the "inevitability" of loss of liberty before making such bold predictions.


*Let me take yet another opportunity to complain about "***" being censored on this forum. After more than twenty years of participation on online forums it remains the most childish rule I have ever seen.
