I certainly don't.
I ride almost every day, and compulsory or not, I will wear my helmet. I've been run down by a Saab, rear-ended a SS that pulled out in front of me, went over the handlebars at around 55k's through a funeral precession, and crashed into a sheep going god knows how fast down a gravel hill. If I wasn't wearing a helmet I'd be dead many times over.
Even if you're just casually riding to the shops, parked at the lights waiting to cross, and you go all retard-spastic and fall over while clipped in, that meter and a half your head falls to the pavement will be enough to fracture your skull and concuss the hell out of you.
IMO people who refuse to wear helmets deserve to be skittled, but only on the condition that said skittling is enough to permanently remove them from the gene pool. Its common sense to preserve ones self. Those who don't have that inbuilt preservation circuit are flawed units, and need to be returned to sender.

Very nasty and selfish attitude there.
There are a lot of people who believe that performance cars should be banned because they are dangerous and can cite hundreds of cases to support their position.
Do you think they have the right to make you drive a Hyundai Prius that is limited to 60km/h because anyone who wants to do 100km/h in a V8 is a "flawed unit".
There are also a large number of people who believe that if you do not follow their personal beliefs and ideals you should be "returned to sender". A few years ago a few of them flew some aircraft into some buildings.
Intollerance is a VERY dangerous thing........
