But if you learn Chinese! Then what? If you ask them the time, it is the same time for them and us, is it not?

That you had to learn the Chinese language (or they had to learn yours) to expect a reasonable answer for the query of 'what is the time?'?
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

Libertarianism is the view that government should have minimal control over people. Political, Civil, and Economic liberties are at an all time high in Libertarianism. Libertarian governments don't make any laws against who you can love and marry, what you can say or express, what you can eat, drink, smoke, etc. Likewise, they favour a free market approach to economics. No trade restrictions, no taxes on trade or on earnings. The only tax we favour is a flat rate (since progressive tax is unfair) one.
