Also, I think it's interesting that Médecins sans frontières is translated as "Doctors Without Borders" and not "Doctors Without Frontiers". I think it says something about how at least in North American English, "frontiers" are seen as an empowering opportunity, not as a boundary or a restriction. Doctors without frontiers would be unambitious, lacking vision.
@evan I’ve been thinking a lot about how daring and the pursuit of new frontiers is the essence of US national identity, and how that’s tied up with our apparent inability to invest in the sustainability of anything good we’ve built.

As a writer obviously my characters. One could even view Kakuriyo, the Shadow Land, as a new frontier.

This is a joke; it references a song, a non-profit organisation, and a television show where some entities are without frontiers or down to their last frontier. If you don't think that's fun or funny, feel free to skip the poll.
@evan I got the Gabriel reference first. when I went to England I realized he got it from a TV show ... hopefully I'll be the only vote

@evan So now I'm wondering whether Borders Book Store ever opened a location in Quebec or France, and did they call it "frontières"??

@evan before I drank my coffee, I read that as "spare front tyre".

Hey, all. So, here are my thoughts.
The Enterprise is on its final frontier, but it's a big one (space). When everyone else has zero frontiers, maybe this one can wait.

Médecins sans frontières actually don't want any frontiers. They want to be able to go help people regardless of frontiers. So, let's let them do their important work without impeding it.

@copiesofcopies @evan He couldn't stand having other people around him. As soon as his family made any connections he would load them up and move them further into the "wilderness". And his poor wife...
Cult leader material. -

That leaves games. I don't understand that song, honestly. It's based on a TV show where international teams competed in simple games.
