Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine ( the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers )

So what is the Wakefield Doctrine’s position on euthanasia?

Alright, alright! Stop the clamoring and vague threats, the Wakefield Doctrine does not have an Official, Comprehensive position on the matter of euthanasia, what part of  “the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers” did not convey the idea that we are talking about three distinct personality types and therefore three different views on any given subject.

 Since you are here, we might as well take a moment and present the three views on aging:

  clarks  scotts rogers 
       
What do you think of Old People They are interesting-Have lots to share Eww Well, they seem to like to sit for long periods of Time listening to me
What will you be like as an Old Person? …err see me now?That, with less hair Old? Over my dead body Well, I think that I will enjoy being taken care in one of those homes
Should Old People be treated Special? Sure, why not? Yeah, lets make them do tricks for us on TV …as long as it does not detract from the attention the nurses pay to me
Euthanasia? Sure, if they want to Only if it is a game show…’Last Senior Standing’ or something Sure, but do it at night when no one will complain about the hooting

 

So, there is no real consensus on what to do with people when they get old and annoying (or maybe just annoying). But the Doctrine will take the position that old people will show the characteristics of their individual types very clearly.

  • clarks will age the least, ’cause they have been old from the start
  • scotts will appear to slow down the least, until they fall over dead
  • rogers will get even crankier, even though most laws of physics say that is not even possible
  • clarks who by definition have missed the whole point of Life, will get increasingly active as they age
  • scotts will not notice the physical effects of aging when it starts, the psychological effects they have never noticed
  • rogers will sit more, but they will be the most compliant guests in the home, until they stop getting visitors

Well, what exactly do you want to know? Whether I am a clark or a scott or roger? If you have to ask, then you need to keep reading the Posts for two reasons: a)to get a clear enough understanding to be able to make the determination of which type I am and 2) to realize that by definition I am all three.* *which is true for you as well, all three...but mostly one

    O.K. Is that all ya got?! Come on people.
    You the roger, Progenitor, keeper of history and all things past. I thought there would be more.
    Is it because I am a clark that one of the first things my mind contemplated was how there is a difference “viewing” the past (via a picture such as graces the front page of this post) when one is removed physically by say, a thousand miles? Geography v. perspective v. the past. Talk to me.
