John,
Bigpeace.com posts:
Generally, writing for other sites seems like a good idea, but it might have more impact if it was clearer what track your train of thought is on. I infer from the replies that the readers there are somewhat confused. Perhaps, a short standard introduction linked to a more comprehensive explanation of the basics of Gen Dynm or something along those lines would help.

Specifically, in the Iraq/Afghanistan piece, as India and Pakistan are on a collision course, how can our actions in Afghanistan be sufficient to significantly delay the conflagration? Since virtually anything might touch it off and virtually nothing can stop it, why not draw down to a defensible military position from which to react as events unfold even though Taliban may perceive it as a victory?

Dave - As long as I can maintain my non-partisan and non-ideological
integrity, I'm happy to have the exposure. If Moveon.org asked me to
write something for them, I would do so, and I would write the same
thing for them that I write for BigPeace, or for my own web site.

Keep in mind that, for good or ill, Generational Dynamics concepts are
being adopted by the Tea Party movement. The movie "Generation Zero"
is based almost entirely on Generational Dynamics theory, and has
received a positive reception only by Tea Partiers, many of whom, like
me, find the Republicans and Democrats in Washington equally
repugnant.

Tom - This is a big problem with no easy solution. The editor
suggested that I write an article summarizing Generational Dynamics,
but the problem is that the subject is too big, and a description a
few paragraphs long would only confuse people.

So what I'm going to do is work bits and pieces of generational theory
into the articles as I go along, and occasionally reference my
article, "Basics of Generational Theory."

I disagree. I think you can and should make a single article introduction. I think you could explain the concepts in a few paragraphs so people would get the idea of what it was about. You have enough people here to give you feedback and advice on what to include, remove, or simplify. Even an attempt is probably a useful exercise.
