"In those days men were real men, women were real women, small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were real small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri. And all dared to brave unknown terrors, to do mighty deeds, to boldly split infinitives that no man had split before - and thus was the Empire forged."--Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
And don't forget that in those times, life was mostly tax free!
