Monday.
Get the hell up.
You know of the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers) and you will recognise at least one roger or one scott in your world today.
You will not approach this individual or otherwise make them aware of your knowledge that they are just like we talk about here.
You will do your best to maintain your composure, unless you are reading this with a friend and/or friends, in which case, listen to the clark among you.
When you spot your first roger, it will most likely be in an ‘organised environment’, ie.e school or work or any other place that you are compelled to follow certain guidelines as to your own activity.
Make a note of your first sighting (being extra careful if you are spotting a scott, do not, under any circumstance allow the scott to see you taking notes.)
If you are a roger (yeah, right!) do not allow other herd members to observe you doing anything that is out of the ordinary.
Clarks…you will have no trouble…unless you start to think that this Wakefield Doctrine will win the love of the herd or the backing of the scott.
When you have spotted the first, the rest will be easy.
Expect to make mistakes initially deciding if a person is a scott or (an aggressive) roger.
Don’t be concerned, it happens to the best of us at the beginning.
You will notice, rather quickly, that rogers are using the personal pronoun way, way, way more than the scott…
You will (then) notice that the scott has the attention span of a 3 month old puppy on amphetamines
Everyone ready? Good. We know you can do this thing. If you have any questions or concerns you can always write a Comment (yeah, fer sure lol)
We here at the Doctrine will be standing by, both Progenitors and DownSprings to help where we can, but knowing about the Wakefield Doctrine (and seeing the world accordingly) thing is a lot like…riding a bike?…nah a bike is inanimate and while fun will not turn on you if you stray from the herd…or totally prey on you until something more attractive comes along, …like learning to play an instrument?…no way! playing an instrument has a set technique and therefore is totally predictable so that if you hit certain keys on a keyboard you will always get a certain sound/tone….like sex?….maybe…it sort of has the always the same almost always enjoyable and worthwhile, except when it is not and then the results are to be regretted for a life time…yeah sort of like that.
But all of us here, at Doctrine central, admire you as you got out into the world today, armed with a knowledge and a power that is shared by 10s and 10s of people here and there around the globe. Now you know how Noah must of felt…you gotta get out in the world and do something that you will be glad you did, but you better not let the neighbors get too close a look at your backyard…or something like that.
New Readers? No rush, no hurry. The above is directed towards Readers who have been here a while, for now you should just enjoy the videos, spend some time in the Pages (Table of Contents) or browse through some old Posts (Archive Read ’em and Sleep)…you will get the hang of this Doctrine thing pretty quick we betcha.
Hey a big shoutout yo to Renasainces Rauneasce Renoven Ronin…one of the first Friends of the Doctrine. He stopped by and said hey last night (see Post, “don’t you people ever go to bed”). He will hopefully be sporting some fine Doctrine apparel and we hope to see a photo of his hat (for his damn head) in front of a landmark from his part of the country. Ronin has taken it to the next level (for many blog writers) and has written a book. ‘Hats off”(our damn heads) go to his site and read a spell. That being: The Life and Times of a Renaissance Ronin kutgw, dude.
So, busy week coming up. New issue of the Good…the Bad…Decide Right Now!! The topic will be Animal Shows so get watchin and start votin…not yet
Almost August, expect that Our Miss Sullivan should be returning from her “Grand Tour of the Continent” (very funny Jimmie, thats Continent…) and our little Britney should be finishing up her internship at Camp Rumplelake, (there are no handicaps, there are only poor-unfortunate-humans-who-for-some-reason-got-on-the-wrong side-of-Jethro-before-they-were-frickin-born) kids. She has done a lot of good work there and we all look forward to hearing her tell us what she has learned. Jimmie is, of course, interning with Mr. B lol and we are sure to hear from him.
So, get out there and spot them clarks, scotts and rogers. RUUn Readers!….Ruun!!
lol…glenn…evolve dude…evolve

Lewis Black… hystercial!! Actually made it through the entire performance which, as you know, is difficult for any scott to do without forwarding ahead just to get to the end. Well done.
Which is why your show (Whale Wars) (to be discussed Wednesday in the Good…the Bad…Decide Right Now!!) has got to be ‘crewed’ mostly rogers and some clarks.
No doubt there are scotts among them, but held back for some reason, cause as you note above…”difficult for any scott to do without forwarding ahead just to get to the end”…
A scott in control of the whale-befriending boat would more likely just ram the way much larger whale-dehydrating boat.
Fuckin’ right…
Yes, the crew is primarily clarks and rogers. It is the only way that such a big undertaking is possible. In fact, truth be told, I haven’t been able discern a single scott amongst them. Every year at the beginning of the campaign it takes the Sea Shepherds literally weeks just to get from Australia to the area down in Anarctica where the Japanese whaling vessels are. The Steve Irwine (Sea Shepherd vessel) only travels about 15 knots. In addition to that, once there, even more time to find ‘em. Imagine, if you will, trying to find a mere blip on the radar down in the vast Antarctic Ocean. Holy shit, can you imagine a bunch of scotts just waiting and waiting and waiting?? Scary scenario to be amongst the less patient ones (is that possible?) once they start to show their true colors. Oh and we can’t forget the screaming. What a mess.
I wonder if they conduct any type of “personality profile” when enlisting crew members. They must. The Doctrine would be a very useful tool to easily and quickly be able to weed out any trouble-makers (yes, dare I say, mostly scotts). But then again, what if the people being interviewed were also akin to the Doctrine? Well that would change everything.
