It was William Binney, thanks. The point of acting courageously in the face of government oppression is to inspire others to stand up against oppression. Remember the little guy in Tiananmen Square? The Chinese government is still (after 25 years) so afraid of that one act of courage, that they don't allow demonstrations there, and don't allow foreign journalists to film the Square. The consequences to the individual will be bad, but the overall effect of such courage is to improve the society.
The point (for me) is not to give up. We can still change this country, for the better, for us all, but not by giving up.
