Do you attack issues from a logical end or an emotional one?

When it comes to issues do you attack it with logic even to the point of blocking emotion off of it, or do you attack it from an emotional foundation based on how you personally feel even if it flies afoul of the logic?

For instance if you had the issue of who is worse for a community out of a pedophiles or drunk drivers? Most will go off their emotions because of how vilified sex offenders are (but seeing any relations outside marriage is a sex offence as stated by the Bible, but that is a different matter) by the media and such. But if you get to just the facts that thought might not be supported because yearly more people die at the hands of drunk drivers than sex offenders. Unlike sex offenders you don’t know if one lives up your street or what vehicle they drive so you can watch for them while walking your dog. A drunk driver is a danger not only to your child but your entire family even you, etc.

There are many more such issues from eat meat, be vegan; nuclear power, no nuclear power; school vouchers, no school vouchers; going green and using oil; celebrity worship vs. all people are exactly the same and deserve the same treatment, and so on, and so on.

Are you purely with the fact and the logic or more off the emotion and what your heart and gut feels even when you have no logic to back it?
