as it should be - I'd like everyone to wear a helmet to protect their noggins... however.. it's not the government's place to legislate it... (I feel the same way about seatbelts.) If you want to wear one... that's fine.. you might be saving your life someday... but it's your choice... it's not up to the goverment to decide.

I currently live in NH - the only state without a mandatory seatbelt law for adults, and one of the few states without a helmet law.. Live free or die is the state's motto - and that's the way it should be... The government should exist to protect people's rights, not to punish them for activities that really don't interfere with anyone else..

I really don't care whether people wear a helmet or not... their choice...
