…”But we need to begin to understand that the Wakefield Doctrine aka the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers is very much a tool that we can use on ourselve…so stay tuned”

Glad you could make it back, lots to talk about.  We will continue presenting the basic concepts of the Doctrine with each Post for the new Reader, but going forward there will be more of the ‘practical side’ of this thing of ours presented and you will see an interes…

…He is going to go on a bit now…Janie here…Sullivan!  How many other fictional constructs who write in blue font and block quotes do you know?  Anyway, what our Writer is going to say is that the CSR 101 series is going to continue to be used as a teaching device…
Hey, it’s their blog, I guess that’s what gives them the right…not I think its kinda cute…they all are taken with the students at Millard Fillmore High.  No, I do not think its confusing or distracting…and there is information in each of their little episodes.
Next one?  Glad you asked…the next Post should be another CSR 101 story about those two scottian teachers/lecturers…Glen Milner and a Miss Ack… I think…no! lol thats not nice!…  they meant well and were very informed…he was not hitting on me!  I mean I heard he went to Fillmore when my uncle was here.  (Sigh)  I know, but being a fictional construct has its limitations…
Anyway, that’s not why I am sneaking this in…I made a Comment on Mel’s blog…the Spatula…really?  you should… a lot of fun…anyway Mel has this Walrus character watching the site stats, so as one construct to another, I wrote something nice.  But in his answer he said something about not being comfortable writing Post Comments!
You could have knocked me over with a…then I realised the only Comments we get here are from the ‘Regulars’. 
Hey!  Readers!  all these ‘people’ work real hard on this site, so I want you to listen to me…Write…A…Comment..
If not for them, then for me ;P…you know one imaginary being to another (lol)…really…I would def appreciate it…no, doesn’t have to be about the Doctrine…just a: “I love the blog, keep up the good work…give Janie more dialogue”…(lol)  gotta go, there is a certain substitute teacher who seems to have it in for me…jeez lady, get a life huh?
(Don’t forget: Comment).

So in the coming weeks look for more stories using the CSR 101 premise as well as straight-forward ‘This is the Wakefield Doctrine’ kind of Posts.  We will try to mix it up and keep it interesting.

On a more serious note, you have noticed there have been no Posts from the Progenitor roger recently.  He had a death in the family, our sympathy to the family and we wait for his return.  Fortunately for us, his story line (CSR 101) has started to get a life of its own, we hope he reads all the recent Posts so he can stay current!  Speaking of CSR 101, the next Post should be an ‘interview’ type Post with Glenn and Ms AKH from recent entries.  As I hopefully am not repeating too much, this will be an opportunity to present the Doctrine in a context that should offer entertainment and education.

Speaking of education…did you know the primary identifiers of the clarklike female are: shoes, eyes and head?  We have mentioned her recently, but Flo (of the Progressive Insurance TV ads) has taken over the crown, (and yes, a clarklike female would wear a crown to work if she had one), from Diane Keaton as representative of her kind.  There is a video clip of Ms. Keaton accepting an award somewhere in the clark Page.  Such a clark…not only the clothes but also how she takes being self-effacing to a totally new level.  You should go and look at the…hell here is the link… go on, I’ll wait here.  Alright, tell me you do not know someone like her. Granted clarks have a way of blending into the scenery, sort of…I mean really, wearing three different hats, combat boots, 5 scarves and a shawl and still coming across as sexy, not really blending in, is she?
You clarks out there, you know what I mean.  You are shy and you are introverts but you will still insist on doing the things that make you noticeable.  Remind me to lecture on the ‘blue monkey effect’ when we have the time.

So, look for the (continuing) adventures of our two intrepid scottian Commentators, Glenn and AKH. (That they are scotts and are playing lead in these ‘episodes’, what a surprise.)
Speaking of scottian females, big shoutout to future Friend of the Doctrine, Ms. P. Wood.  Thanks for your help.  As a trade off on making a written Comment here, if you could add the web address( www.wakefielddoctrine.com) to the new sign you made for the Learning Center, we will call it ‘even’?  Either way, no pressure here.
As we say at the Wakefield Doctrine:  read, learn, buy a hat…now to find that video custodian…where did that scamp get off to…”Mr. B!  Mr.B? you’re not off somewhere practicing that hyperthyroid fiddle again, are you?”

remember…write something…I don’t know! you are the real people…how about “Keep bringing that young Janie Sullivan person back, she is such a delight“…sure write that…that’ll keep you up at night  (lol)  as what’s his name says,  ‘don’t worry about nothin”..
‘ta

There you are!  Mr. B, I hope you have something clever for us or at very  least germane to this Post.  You haven’t read it?  If you were not an un-resolved emotional component from the distant past you would be on the employment line faster than you can say, ‘Where is Mr. Chips’.

??! Hey, Don’t look at me! (lmao) I just hit the keys on the keyboard. Think about how (surprised”) I am when these Posts are finished.

and now a word from

February 14, 2010 By

Got a minute?

No, nothing bad.  Just thought we could kinda step back, try to see what progress we are making out with this little blog thing of ours.

And we are making progress on the development of other ‘sources of content’; both (the) Progenitors and Downsprings are starting to become confident and good content is the result.  Good content is defined as Posts that are entertaining and present the Doctrine in ways that help the Reader understand and apply the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers to their everyday lives.  The Progenitor roger,  is really starting to come into his own with his (Post) series CSR 101,  which is not only good content but is now a ‘premise/storyline’  that others can use to launch their own Posts.  The CSR 101 (storyline)  is where Glenn and AKH have begun in earnest to bring value to the blog,  both of them writing Posts that are ‘classroom presentations’ to (everyone’s favorite AP class at Millard Fillmore High) on the subject of the Wakefield Doctrine. 
AKH had already done a nice little piece on relationships and Glenn was pfg on his Interview Post, as was Denise (Downspring#1) who did a snappy little Post the other day.  In terms of presenting the Wakefield Doctrine and being entertaining, these guys are really starting to produce.  They deserve a big round of applause or a click on the link to their Posts and leave a Comment.
While still not sure what is going on, the Doctrine now (seems) to have Janie Sullivan and her friends. (Simply a name mentioned in one of the first CSR 101 Posts, Janie has somehow become a ‘voice’ in these pages.  She is the one in ‘block quotes’ and blue font).
There also seems to be a ‘Mr. B’ who apparently is the one who picks the music videos.

Anyway.  We are getting there, here at the Wakefield Doctrine blog, both in presentation and in content.  With the content now coming from other sources, we are now beginning  to have the time to look at the blog from the view of, ‘If I were a Reader here for the first time, how likely is it that I am going to ‘get’ the Wakefield Doctrine on the first visit?’

As to visitors and Readers, we are not doing badly.  We have Readers (about 20 or 25) who come here on a regular basis and we have a decent ‘visit rate’ every day. (Nothing like SewingintheNudewithYoungMissElliot.com or PoundingHammersHoldingNailsandManTalk.com  blogs, but we do alright).

Blah, blah, blah.  (Man, you should see me here at  the computer looking for a hook.  It’s been interesting (well maybe only to me) the kind of stuff I have been going to in the desperate hope of finding some music to inspire me, or failing that to hang this Post on.  I mean everything from ZZ Top to Leslie West to Joe Cocker…a line of youtube video search came to a total screeching halt when I read one of those Comments (under the video) that simply said: “my grandfather went to see these guys”  dit…dit…dit.. as Roger would say.  Oh kay, lets quietly turn off the museum videos.

Damn, but I do like the videos and since I still got nothing, let me put this totally fun clip of our favorite gospel guys.

So anyway, last night we were driving around Wakefield (yes, the Wakefield) and talking about how it is sometimes difficult to distinguish rogers from scotts, especially ‘strong’ rogers and (regular) scotts.  Glenn, he say “what is Howard Stern?” and my immediate (and correct, of course) answer was: roger.  Now Glenn, he gets like, forgets he is supposed to be the scott in the car and says, “really”?  I mean a ‘genuinely-interested-in-the-answer’ question from a scott!  (You tell me this Doctrine thing is not a productive way to change the way you live life.)  Anyway, I said, “yes Glenn, listen to Howard on the radio, he seems all aggressive and pushy and what not but it’s personal with him”.  That is the quality you hear, no matter how ‘all in your face’ Mr. Stern may seem, its personal.  With a scott it is never personal, they do what they do, sincerely and genuinely, but it ain’t personal.  Even in a conflict situation, a fight, scotts will be all action, nothing held back but then when it is over,  everything is back to normal, no grudges, no major resentment, just a re-establishment of pack ranking. Nothing personal.
Not with rogers.  So Howard Stern is a roger.  While we are on the subject, Lennie Bruce?  roger…George Carlin? scott.

Damn this shit makes sense.

And there it is.  The point I was looking for.  We are getting to where we can present content on reliable basis (nothing like Mel at the Spatula, that guy is a machine! the rate he comes up with good content, damn!), but regularly enough that we need to set the bar higher.

This Wakefield Doctrine is a ‘fun, unique and effective way to understand the behavior of those around us, at home at work at school and at play’ (as it says on the short discription on the blog directories) and this will always be true.
But we need to begin to understand that  the Wakefield Doctrine aka the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers is very much a tool that we can use on ourselves…

…so stay tuned.

because this is fun and because no one wrote in to ask us to stop

February 12, 2010 By

(ed. note the following installment of the CSR 101 series was written by Downspring AKH with the guidance and encouragement of Downspring#1.  Go! Downsprings!)

(the Wakefield Doctrine (welcome back to CSR101 class…)

I want to introduce this Post. …Because…I’m the construct that has stepped out on her own, that’s why!  That’s not true!  they all know who I am, I am in block quotes and blue font, after all. As if!  In my sleep, lol, sure I get it…’substitute’ Teacher… really?  that’s too bad I hope he gets back soon.  lol of course I can handle a scottian author…’Janie Sullivan to un-inspired blog creator’ unlimited character here!
The previous scottian writer?… offensant pour moi?  lol!  of course not,  he was funny…what?  oh all the time…Let’s let the editor guy get this done so we can all get back to the Planet Earth…nah I like her…well she is a scottian female…I would expect nothing less…no, not as old as those other people…oh yeah! I’m with Jimmy on that…smokin! shh  shh  here comes Principle Clark.  Yeah…I don’t know! maybe the Readers (who ever they are) liked the last fake class room premise…well they are blog readers…you know what they say about blog readers…lol hadn’t heard that one.  Hey- who is that with Principle Clark? Oh man another substitute Teacher premise…’Janie to creative writing department’…Code Blue guys Code Blue…lol

Principle Clark:  Your regular Teacher is on a short sabbatical, (no, Britney that has nothing to do with his religion),  so for today we have a substitute Teacher.
Class, this is Ms. AKH and she will be teaching your CSR 101 class for the remainder of the month or until we find a permanent substitute.  I know you will all like her and give her all the respect and attention that you give your regular Teacher.  (Miss Sullivan?  Did you have something to say?  I didn’t think so.)  OK then… Ms. AKH?

Ms. AKH:  Good morning!  Everyone!  How are you doing today?  Am really excited to be here.  You know, as I was walking into class, who is the first person I see but that weirdo Janie that Glenn Miller and Roger were telling me about in my class.  That’s just fucking great.  Hey!  Just messin with ya! Really!  We are all going to have fun and if we’re not careful you might even learn something.  Hey relax!  Lighten up, what are you all?… a bunch of old people?  Here we go.
Good morning class and welcome to CSR 101.  My name is Ms AKH.
Excuse me…What’s your name?  Britney?  Yes, you have pretty name.  Thank you.  I like my shoes too.  Ok class, let’s get focused.  This semester we’ll be covering the Wakefield Doctrine. Anyone familiar with the WD? Anyone?
Janie?  I wasn’t sure if you heard me.  Please put your headphones away.
You, in the back.  What’s your name?  Well Jimmy, let’s get this straight.  First of all my personal life is none of your business and secondly it is very inappropriate to tell your teacher that she’s hot.  What??  One more comment like that Jimmy and you’re out of here to see Principal Clark.  Oh really.  And what is your coach going to say to me?  That you suck?  That you can’t even get on the starters bench?  So sit down and shut up.  (shit this is going to be a long semester.)
Alright then, can we please get back to why we’re here?  Our class will be based on the principles of the Wakefield Doctrine also referred to as the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers which is premised on the idea that we all have a different experience of the world and those around us.  This perspective or perception is based on one of three personalities.  These are the clarks, scotts and rogers which I will be going into further detail about.
Learning to identify the three will unfold over the next few weeks.  To understand the Wakefield Doctrine is to understand these 3 distinct individual types.  It is important to be aware that we all have the traits of all three, the potential to be a clark, scott or roger.  However, one is predominant and this is the one that makes you a clark, scott or roger.
OK class!  How do we spot a clark. Very funny, Miss Sullivan. They are by far the most difficult to understand/relate to.  Often quiet loners, they tend to keep to themselves.  However, don’t mistake their seemingly disinterested veneer as implying that they are unaware or even aloof.  In actuality, the clarks command attention without saying a word.
Yes Jimmy?  You want to be a clark because you think that clarks sound cool?  Well, I can tell you right off the bat that you’re not cool and you’re not a clark.  By standing up and proclaiming this you are telling the class which of the three you are…ok class anyone want to tell us what Jimmy here is?  No Britney! While I may agree with you, that is not one of the three types we are talking about.  (And if there were such a thing, I doubt it could fly, lol)  Ok Jimmy sit down, you are a scott.  Always seeking attention.  But we’ll go into that later.  So sit down and be quiet.  Maybe you’ll learn something today (like that’s gonna happen).
OK back to the clarks.  They are the creators.  The intellectuals.  Constantly striving for more knowledge.  Now do you understand why you’re not a clark Jimmy?

In contrast, there are the rogers.  They have a group mentality.  Herds if you will.  They are not attracted to “outsiders.”  This goes against their grain. Rogers are content with themselves.  It is the status quo that keeps them passive and therefore willing to accept being part of a “sameness.”  Any who stray outside of the herd are viewed as being dangerous to the tranquility of the mundane.  Keep in mind that these are not necessarily bad traits.  They are the glue that holds society together.  Without them, the world would become a very unstable place.  Unlike clarks, rogers are not confrontational  Whereas clarks welcome a seemingly “innocent” spar at any given time.
Britney, would you please wake up Janie?  Her snoring is distracting the class.  Thank you.

On to the scotts. These guys and gals are the epitome of ego.  Unlike any of their counterparts, they seek and crave attention.  They make themselves the center of attention, whether it be at a party or an office meeting.  Their main purpose/objective is to make sure that they establish themselves as being superior in any given group.  And they prey on rogers, viewing them as easy targets by which to inflate their insatiable ego.
Oh for Christ’s sake Jimmy, what is it now?  You read that scottian women are extremely hot and sexy and that’s why you think I’m a scott?  Give that man a prize!  You finally got something right.  Didn’t think you had it in you. OK class.  I think that’s enough for one day.  See you next week.
…oh Jimmy…

..done now?  man I thought this would never end…no, I think she knows her Doctrine, but those scottian Teachers…inappropriate much?  her not as bad as that old guy last week…what was his name…something to do with trumpet…no, Britney flutes are not made of…lmao…anyway where is Mr. B?  he is the only one to get us out of this …Hey! aren’t those the Slovenian exchange students?..let’s go say hi…come on Britney…no I think Jimmy stayed after class to help Ms. AKH with something…lol I bet she would lol.

then a video is worth 10 million words

February 9, 2010 By

You know this is not just about music videos and clever Posts and cultural references…you do know this, don’t you?

This is about the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers) which lest we forget is described in all the blog lists I can sign us up for as:
          

‘the Wakefield Doctrine is a unique, effective and fun way to understand those around us, at home and at work and at play. Finally you will understand why people behave the way they do…’

Sometimes the effort to make these Posts clever and amusing takes us away from this ‘mission’.  But we are back on track now, aren’t we…

WTF Miss Bonnie and the magic mirror!! (To younger readers…early days of TV lots of programing directed at the 3 to 7 year old demographic, scheduled either early morning (Romper Room School came right after Captain Kangeroo) and late afternoons with cartoon based programs like Popeye the Sailor (if that is not a future Post,  lol).  Anyway, all very primitive programming, as opposed to say American Idol or the Biggest Loser.)

So what can we learn about the Doctrine by watching this clip? (You know, by now I really should not have to tell anyone what the lessons are.) 
Alright…how does the clarklike child react? how about the scottian 5 year old or the rogerian pre-schooler?  The answer provides a way to understand the Doctrine….

Not all at once….

OK.   You people can just sit there and stare at the screen…and when you have the answer  write it in the Reply section…you know the place where it says “Leave a Reply’?

Or is that too vague for you scott? yeah, yeah roger I know how too terribly busy you are right now…clark? no! god forbid you should write something and have people think that you don’t know what you are writing about….

well…fine  I can sit here all damn day….

(To any new Readers, not to worry there is plenty of content in the previous Posts and of course in the Pages of the blog itself).  Please, make yourself at home, browse through the content, lots of videos…love the Lady Gaga one…)

(Oh! hey Pixieblonde!  Glad to see you could make it…remember you promised to leave a Comment)

(…no Janie, nothing you can do, these people need to step up and make an effort to contribute to this thing of ours.)

Whats that Mr. B.?  You are too good hearted, I don’t think they deserve more free entertainment…but if you are willing to…go ahead

let’s join our class, already in progress

February 7, 2010 By

(Hi.  A little ‘set-up’ for today’s Post.  The Progenitor roger has established an on-going series of Posts subtitled1 ‘CSR 101’, which has somehow ‘given existence’ to:  a high school by the name of Millard Fillmore High; b) an AP (advanced placement) class on the Wakefield Doctrine; c) and students, Janie Sullivan, Britney (Janie’s bff) and Jimmy (a scottian underachiever).
I know, I know!  This was not in the plan.  That being said any and all means and manner of presentation of  the Wakefield Doctrine to the Readers will be utilized.  Lighten up, this is kind of fun! 
Anyway….what follows is a ‘Lecture’ on ‘Leadership and the Wakefield Doctrine’ written by an actual scott.  Downspring Glenn).

[So, let’s stand here in the back of the class…I see Principle Clark, (hey, did you really think I was going to sit this one out? with a scott center stage? nfw…lol), he is about to address the class].. 

Principle Clark:  Class?  Today we have a special treat, we have Glenn Miller, a leading Trainer in the field of employee benefits and management who will give us a talk on the Wakefield Doctrine and Leadership! (No, Jimmy he is not replacing your regular Teacher.  Britney? no I don’t believe he will be giving a test at the end of the class.  Would someone get Miss Sullivan’s attention?  Janie!  Please turn off the laptop, iphone and all the rest of your technology.  Thank you.)

Principle Clark:  Mr.. Miller?  They’re all yours.

Glenn Miller:…Hi everyone.  My name is Glenn Miller and I’m here to talk about leadership and the Wakefield Doctrine.  Principle Clark, if I may ask… 

Principle Clark: (Excuse me, Glenn) “Yes?  Miss Sullivan? Yes, there will be time for questions at the end…  Mr.. Miller says that you are free to interrupt with questions at any point…no, Jimmy that does not mean you are free to walk around…” (Sorry for the interruption.)

Glenn:  Anyway…Leadership.  Let’s talk about how what you are learning in this class on the Wakefield Doctrine will help you become effective leaders.

Management is not leadership—and leadership is not management.  Not all good managers are good leaders.  Not all good leaders are good managers.

Management is for the rogers.  It involves “hitting all the marks”—crossing the tees, posting the schedule, taking attendance, quantifying performance measures—you know boring rogerian shit like that.

(Pardon me Principal Clark..Oh the language?  My bad.  Of course!)

Glenn:  Rogers are great at paying attention to details and knowing and following policies and procedures, in other words being managers.  Leadership, however is scottian. Management makes people accountable.  Leadership inspires people—energizes them.  With effective leadership, the people under you won’t just do what they are supposed to do—they will WANT to do it—and more.  A group with strong leadership is more productive and unified.  It is more comfortable.  Good leaders actually have an easier time than managers.

(Yes?  Janie?  Which one are you?  I’d say you’re a scott.  See? That’s leadership.  You’ve got my attention.   Principle Clark?…I’m sorry, of course it’s just that it’s so distracting…of course. You’re right.  Highly inappropriate.) 

Glenn:  So class:  How do leaders effectively communicate with subordinates?
              yes?…Jimmy isn’t it?  No, Jimmy it does not depend on how hot they are…
             Britney?…no, it does not depend on how hot you are…  
              Miss Sullivan…care to take a stab at the question?…what? of course I will call you Janie…
Of the class, Miss…er Janie here was the closest to knowing the correct answer….anyone know why?

Leaders: 

  • provide frequent and meaningful performance feedback.
  • MBWA—Management By Walking around—They gotta see you if you want them to follow you.
  • Ask them for their opinions—doesn’t mean you gotta implement their suggestions, but ask them.  Makes the little creatures feel so valued.
  • Emphasize the positive—all the time.  Give them a “reputation”.  Make them believe that you believe in them and that they are an elite team. 

A good leader will always:
                                    Praise in public.  Do not worry about patronizing or embarrassing them.  If the employee is a clark, he will need the praise because clarks often doubt themselves. If the employee is a roger, he will feel that “Finally! Someone sees the sacrifices and suffering I endure to get this work done..”  If it is a scott, he will resent the praise as in “who the hell are you to tell me how I’m doing?  I’ll praise YOU”.   But if you persist and keep praising, the  dominance messages will be sent—and the scott will grow comfortable and even eager to follow you. 
                                     Negative feedback in private.  Leaders do not bully or humiliate people.  (Unless it’s just for fun).  But if you want people to follow you, they must see you as someone who will protect their dignity.

Finally  –(This one is hard)—Find something to like and admire about every one of your subordinates—Hard for a scott.  But totally necessary. 
(Janie?  Already know what I like and admire about you.  Yes.  I will be available after class for..questions.)
Let’s wrap this up and do a couple of other points for you before we end today’s class.

Leadership can be lonely.  Scotts are lone hunters, but also pack animals.  So, when you assume a leadership position in an organization you will LOSE your former relationships with your colleagues.  For a roger, this can be devastating.  Membership in the herd is everything to a roger.  But if you hold a position in which YOU decide who gets promoted, who gets a raise,  Etc…you can no longer be a friend.  It just doesn’t work.  You may find yourself left out of conversations.  The room goes silent when you walk in.
For a roger, this is the most difficult adjustment following a promotion.
For a clark—the room already goes silent when you walk in. No adjustment needed.
For a scott—the silence means they respect (and maybe just a little fear) me.  That’s a good thing. 

Principle Clark:  OK class.  Mr. Miller has a busy schedule time for only a couple of questions… 

Glenn:  oh..alright Jimmy? …  how to deal with your coach…why you are not on the starters bench?  You are not a starter because …you suck, frankly.  Sports is a very scottian world.  If you could help the team win, you would start.  If you are a scott, you would accept this and enjoy knowing your place in the pack.  If you are a roger, you will feel hurt and victimized.  If you are a clark—you only play sports that are played by one person.  (Teams do not interest clarks.)   

Yes, Britney?   How kind of you to say, Britney… You’re right, Britney.  Principal Clark is a dedicated protector of decency and good taste…He’s not much fun, but he does “police” this environment and stamp out indecency every chance he gets—the prick.  Did I say that out loud or just think it?  No, age is not really a significant factor in the application in the Wakefield Doctrine? oh sure, ask him the question directly…

What’s that Britney?  Yes, I have noticed Janie back there.  Yes.. Uh –uh.  Well I’ll tell you this…The second thing that comes to mind is that she probably ought not to wear such a short skirt in school.  The first thing?  I don’t think Principal Clark would like me to answer that question.

Principle Clark:  Okay!  Class, let’s all thank Mr. Miller for his time and expert opinions. 

So there we have it.  Another attempt to communicate the Wakefield Doctrine…
Let’s have a show of hands now…who wants to see this ‘device’ used again? (We have AKH in the wings ready to present the Doctrine to our favorite little class, in the guise of a Student Teacher no less!)

At the bottom of this page is a place for Reply/Comment.   If you write: “Stop it!  For the love of all that is decent and good in the world, please stop this class room thing”, we will take it under advisement.

PS:  I was speaking to a Reader (of the Doctrine) whose opinion I value and I asked about making a Comment, she said that she would, but had a little concern about appearing un-informed about the Wakefield Doctrine.  To which I replied, ‘Pshaw, you are most qualified and should not have this concern’.  That she is most likely a clark may be a factor which is not to say that you rogers out there shouldn’t take a chance on totally humiliating yourselves before the population of the world (or at least the 25 regular Readers of the Doctrine.)

So, come on down!  Write stuff.  Otherwise you risk making Janie unhappy and none of us want that.

Do we?

Mr. B?  This has been a challenging Post to produce, can you give us some simple, fun music to go out on?

1. All Posts follow the same naming convention: ‘the Wakefield Doctrine’ followed by a subtitle in parenthesis; the fun is in the subtitle.
