With that the House returned to the
greatest mystery of both 2011 and 2012, the
unresolved question at the heart of who we are as a nation, the mystery that shackles us with suspicion and doubt: What was Peter MacKay doing with that helicopter?
And the other
great moral and political
questions of the
great debate on salt and iron — the need for profits, the rights and obligations of nobility, aid to the poor, the importance of a balanced budget, the appropriate tax burden, the risk of anarchy, and the dividing line between rule of law and tyranny — have all remained
unresolved issues.
