I've ridden without a helmet and I must admit I enjoyed it. The wind blowing, the sound of the exhaust and freedom of it were great. By the same token, having sex without a condom with a woman you don't know is pleasurable too but, like riding without a helmet, there are some risks inherent to the activity. Each of us must weigh the risks versus the rewards ourselves and make the decision that suits us. Although I must admit, riding without a helmet would probably get me in a lot less trouble with my wife.

We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
