I know a lot of folks are fed up with this helmet issue, but it did bring in 
a good deal of dialogue. So if this is tiring just skip this message. In 
Montreal we have a mountain in the center called Mount Royal. Many venture 
here for exercise as well as sight see. The area is patrolled by police on 
horse back. In recent years the officers have been wearing helmets. On 
inquiring why they did so, the answer I got was that it made it safer. 
Basically helmets were not being worn to curb head injury, but too be more 
politically correct and to give a message. Even though statistics did not 
merit the officers to need a helmet. They wore them anyways.
