reasonable people need minimal "government".
laws are mostly enacted to control the unreasonable members of society.
since i ride a sportbike i will tell you that i always wear a quality helmet and other protection. you can actually ride faster with a helmet on because you can see where you're going better.
there are two schools of thought re: helmet laws.
one school of thought is that if you do not have a helmet law society has the benefit of culling some of it's least intelligent members, in their primary reproductive years.
if you do have a helmet law, society has less of a financial burden taking care of the uninsured who become vegetables from riding bikes sans helmet.
so it's a balance.
the experienced, serious motorcyclist wears a helmet. he doesn't need a law to understand it's the smart thing to do.
