I felt opposed to your argument that staying would have been better for him. His and our visibility what the outcome would have been is near zero. He would have been in prison, but how long - no one can say. A smart person wouldnt bet on such unsure thing. But what you said about the human rights activists, i completely agree. Had he stayed i'm sure he would have had a much greater legacy. But to willingly decide to go to prison and leave the normal life, your girlfriend, your hobbies behind for indeterminate amount of time. A tough decision to make. Speaks volumes about how a story like Jesus would spin an entire religion around it. Cant blame him for the decision he made. He already gave up a lot when he blew the whistle and to give up even more for idealism's sake? We see it in movies, but when it actually happens to you..
