I agree. I guess I would be considered fringe cause I am a very strong conservative. I believe in strictly following the constitution exactly as it is written.
I'm certainly with you on that score!
Alas, I've been considered fringe in a list of ways most of my life. LOL.
While I've actually been more traditional, conservative, and even an old fuddy duddy stick-in-the-mud even as a teen! LOL.
However, I do tend to think outside the box and to have an interest in a very wide diversity of topics--including some "fringe" ones.
