He Final Frontier

Streetalk.

At one time there was an expansive amount of land to explore and build a home on. Pioneers plunged into the wilds with dreams of freedom and a patch of earth to call their very own. Now we have spread out over territories across the world, and the frontier seems done with. Here are some folks with something to say about it.

What does it mean to have a frontier? If I could take me, my girlfriend, and my dog somewhere and live on our own--but that won''t happen.

Why is that? You can''t own anything, if it''s not privately owned, the government owns it!

So what is the next frontier? Might be the moon, but who the hell wants to go there?

What was the last frontier? The Great West movement, like the Dust Bowl/Grapes of Wrath type of thing.

Why isn''t there a new frontier out there? Because globalization is ruining the world.

What do you think about the frontier? Um...well, there was this great 24-hour restaurant called The Frontier next to my college. It was the greatest place on Earth, good hashbrowns. (Not to mention a John Wayne room.)

So what is the, uh, next frontier? The next one--well, people are going to go live underground.

Well, isn''t New Mexico kind of a frontier? Yeah, but Californians are ruining it by moving there.
