When faced with the choice to harm themselves a great deal (i.e. losing their job, especially in such a way that might make it hard to find another) in order to probably accomplish nothing at all, or to contribute in a small way to evil, most people choose to go along with evil. The ones who don't we rarely hear about (there are exceptions, obviously) because... they didn't accomplish anything.

There are cases of rebelious scientists who have lost their job in the FDA when rGBH was being 'evaluated'
They have since then become activists. And that's really not a bad job. You can have a lower-middle class lifestyle as a consumer advocate.
The movie 'the world according to monsanto' is a fine piece of journalism that goes into the stories of these fellas.

The same lower-middle class that's shrinking? I personally am afraid of joining the ranks of the lower class, especially if I end up as another rural overdose datum.
