Mark McKinnon: Wet/Dry decisions based in Logic or Emotion

Writer says voting Dry invites comfort; voting Wet invites excitement. But, he says, whichever way you vote, do go to the polls.
'Regardless of which side you fall, this March 22, please vote. Whether you vote wet or dry, voting will help you feel like you have a say in the process. It will help you feel like you have some control. It also gives you the satisfaction that you have fulfilled one of your civic responsibilities. Voting is a great feeling.' - MARK McKINNON

By Mark McKinnon

Decisions Based in Logic or Emotion

I have often heard that if people have the facts, they will make a sound rational (logical) decision. However, psychologists will quickly tell you that this is simply not true. People are complex. We often try to exercise logic but we much more easily, and much more commonly, base our decisions on emotion. We are emotional beings. We should not try to deny our emotional sides. We need to recognize and embrace our emotional sides especially when faced with a decision in the face of uncertainty.

Such is the case with the Wet/Dry vote.

Click on headline for charts with advisories, including warnings on certain fish from Green River Lake, lakewide, for PCB/mercury levels

From Commonwealth News Center

FRANKFORT, KY - (17 Feb 2016) - The statewide fish consumption advisory has been revised due to levels of mercury found in fish samples from Kentucky waters, the Kentucky Departments for Public Health, Environmental Protection, and Fish and Wildlife Resources announced today.

Fish consumption advisories are intended to advise the public of potential adverse health problems that may result from eating fish caught from a particular area. An advisory does not ban eating fish; it is a guide to help citizens reduce risk and make informed decisions about eating fish from Kentucky waters.
