Actually, I thought the anti helmet guys in the WSJ article were pretty reasonable.

They didn't argue that helmets were not a good idea; rather that mandatory helmet laws are counterproductive.

The more strident anti helmet law posters in the A&S thread, are such zealots that they take what the majority of reasonable people would believe to be ridiculous positions.

So the article was at least better than the A&S thread.
