If you had a spare frontier, who would you give it to?

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.

Also, I reposted because I spelled mΓ©decins wrong the first time.

@evan I'd give it to "qualified no"

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 think it's a perfect translation. I don't see a good way to translate Electronic Frontier Foundation into French. (I have a hat, people ask what EFF is).

@evan Iβve been thinking a lot about how daring and the pursuit of new frontiers is the essence of US national identity, and how thatβs tied up with our apparent inability to invest in the sustainability of anything good weβve built.

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

@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
