From day 1 I was a yes vote but that's because I assumed that there will be a cost to me personally and that our politicians wouldnt let things get out of hand.

I was also aware of bumps on the road and some political wrangling that such event would expose. And the Rick Bell type fear mongering etc.

From day 1 I accepted there will be a dirty fight from both sides and some costs to me. I looked past that as it is just noise, part of life in democracy where everyone has a voice.
Im just not understanding how you can reconcile the first bolded part with the second one.

I understand the emotional reason to vote yes and even tried to talk myself into it that way, but the whole financial aspect is way way to shady to allow emotions over logic in regards to this for me.
