REPLY SD Impact on National Government Policies (SD6165)

[System Dynamics Mailing List]

A comment and a question:

1.  Comment:  

A long time ago, I complained to Swami Chetanananda that system dynamics
grew slowly while other approaches seemed to grow like weeds (in 1988 the
example was expert systems, which had come from nowhere and was suddenly
taking root all over the place).  Swami replied, "Things that grow like
weeds often are".

Jay Forrester has observed that SD grows at ten to twenty percent per year.
That seems to be a healthy and sustainable rate.  

2.  Question:

What publications should people on this list be targeting for articles?
Why? How?  (e.g the New York Times Op Ed page? A blog somewhere?).
