Let+me+know+what+you+think

I don't think we need to have statements or questions that deal with these chapters. After reading chapter two, my thoughts were not focused on the isolationism mentioned in the text. So, I wrote about what I thought about the chapter as a whole. I know some of you like the structure that the statements or questions present. However, does anyone mind if I stray off the task--so to speak--as assigned and just respond to the chapter? My feeling is that we can discuss everything and anything when we meet.
