As the head of emergency medicine Dale Carrison told me: "We see these people because we're physicians and that's our role, and secondly, because it's the law."

He says there is a legal obligation not to refuse treatment to people who would otherwise die.

But it is not a popular view in Las Vegas, and it adds to the belief on the right, that the country, as they love it, has been stolen from them.

By the way, the sentence "The Tree of Liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants" may have been written first by one of the great founding fathers of American liberty, but it was made famous, too, by one Timothy McVeigh.

He, you remember, murdered 168 people when he attacked what he saw as a tyrannical federal government in Oklahoma City in 1995. It was the slogan on his T-shirt.
