When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them to another . . .
. . . and to flee out into the stars, planting colonies which they hope will survive and resist the tyranny of their oppressors . . .
. . . and when those people have been raised in a society that forbids the very mention of the words ‘husband’, ‘wife’, or ‘God’ . . .
. . . life was bound to be interesting.
