Reasons To, Reasons Not To

I've asked hundreds of people two questions:

1. "Think of a time when someone asked you to do something, and 
you chose not to.  What were your reasons for not doing what they 
asked?"

2. "Think of a time when someone asked you to do something, and 
you chose to do it.  What were your reasons for doing what they 
asked?"

I've posted about a hundred answers to each question in the files 
area for this group: 
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/resistance-as-a-resource/files

See the files:
	reasons-to.txt
	reasons-not-to.txt

What patterns do you see in the "reasons to"?  In the "reasons 
not to"?

What similarities and differences do you see between the "reasons 
to" and "reasons not to"?  Or between these reasons and the 
examples of "resistance" I posted earlier (in the 
resistance-examples.txt file)?

What meanings do you make of these similarities and differences?

What significance does all of this have for your change efforts 
(and for your efforts to resist)?
