p> This "article" has to be one of the most thinly veiled pieces of racist, illogical nonsense I've been exposed to in years. I'm not sure which displays a greater lack of compassion, let alone rational thought and integrity -- Neumayr penning it, or your "magazine" publishing it. br> -- Earl Gray Stevens /p> p> George Neumayr's astonishingly cruel "Masques of Death" article demonstrates better than anything I've seen why George W. Bush had to campaign on a platform of "compassionate conservatism" to have a prayer of winning the White House in 2000. Mr. Neumayr's philosophy is simple: blame the victim . And the implementation of that philosophy is the primary reason why our country has been unable to respond effectively to this crisis. There was a time when political conservatism at least wore a mask of concern about the welfare of those at the bottom end of the socio-economic spectrum. Often there was something beneath the mask. This drew me toward the conservative cause. Now even the mask is gone. br> -- John King /p>

Thousands of people have died and continue to die because of a natural disaster. On top of that no one came to help them. I hope you are as lucky some day. May your words of contempt and stupidity turn on you. I have never seen the face of evil portrayed so clearly as it has been by your words. Words of contempt instead of compassion, words of hatred instead of love.

p>I guess all those elderly people, sick people in hospitals, children, infants -- all of them -- are to blame. Not the government response that was slower than a third world country. Stay in your plastic bubble George. No one cares what you say anymore (not even card carrying Republicans). You have lost all credibility. br> -- Hildy /p>
