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

“What?!”

This is the Wakefield Doctrine’s contribution to the Ten Things of Thankful (TToT) bloghop. Considered by some, to be the most sophisticated of the so-called ‘grat blogs’, the TToT has weathered savage criticism (“Thank heavens it’s only once a week!”), tepid support (“Ten?!?! Well, sure, I suppose one could come up with ten things”) and faint praise, (“I suppose you could say they mean well, at least the bloggers who don’t go off on rhetorical tangents like firecrackers in a flamethrower factory, or worse flood the Reader’s mind with metaphors that, in a sense, the neural pathways employed during reading are like rivers and, subject to over-flowing when confronted with excess….like that odd Doctrine blog”.)

Since 1998, the Ten Things of Thankful has been providing those with the interest, a fresh supply of uplifting reading, inspirational reflection upon the daily world and a challenging, if not subversive, commentary on the Life Virtual. So sit right back and you’ll read a post, a post with a dreadful hook, a view of life that will make you want, to stop and read a book.

Try soaking in a hot tub for six hours and then running out and throwing yourself down in a field of thistles (aka Triffids)… you likely to attack them? (lol…sorry couldn’t resist the imagery)
