This special feature explores how we react to people whose claims are so extreme that we seem to collectively ignore them. I ask you now to consider their needs, for extreme claims demand extreme needs. These are the few of us we read about, or see on the news everyday. People are busily walking past an alley way in both directions. From inside the alley, beyond a trash container we hear screams.
Several people look over as they walk.
One man slows and peers into the alley then walks on. We've all been in a situation like this before. Especially those of us from the city. Mostly, we figure the guy is crazy. One of those people you just ignore and stay away from.
