Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
Here’s a post we found by spinning the wheel on only on Month/Year but on the posts within the selected month.
The year was 2011. The month was June. The day was Saturday.
(Because, when you get right down to it, when you go rummaging through your memory further than the current calendar year, if it ain’t Monday, it’s Saturday.)

Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine ( the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers )
To all of the new Readers we see comin ’round the Doctrine, we want to extend a three-pronged Wakefield Welcome (better write and ask one of the DownSprings what the hell that means).
Today we will get all basic-elementary Doctrine for y’all.The Wakefield Doctrine is a tool and (is) a toy for people with a certain outlook on Life. If you are the kind of person who:
- wonders if the things on the news are ever just made up (for the sake of the ratings)
- hates it when someone who pretends to be a friend to a person when there are others around, but tends to get mean in private
- thinks that there should be a way to make sense of the behavior of friends and family
- has the most fun, when out with friends, starting the game of ‘people watching’
- …is the person (at work or school) that everyone comes to to confide a secret to
- …is the person that everyone looks to when things are getting dull and there needs to be a party
- …the person everyone comes to when there is a complicated problem that needs un-raveling
then the Wakefield Doctrine is for you.
Not a stuffy old theory that you take a test for or have to have some one explain to you and not a ‘use once and the fun is gone, like a piece of gum’, the Doctrine is a way of looking at the world and getting something back. Our theory of clarks, scotts and rogers will let you know that you have an advantage when you are around strangers, our Doctrine will let you have more fun with your friends, this thing that we do here will answer at least one of the questions that you have been struggling with, the question, “why on earth would he/she do something like that? I thought I knew them better than that’!
Even though we will now tell you the whole secret of the Wakefield Doctrine, we assure you that it does not mean that you can go out and use it, play with it, teach it to your friends or otherwise get everything of value, just ’cause we told you the whole secret! We know that this is true because we know 2 things that you, the new Reader, does not know:
- the Doctrine addresses 3 aspects of your personality, (the one that you think you are and the other two that would tell you otherwise)
- even though your think you understand the Doctrine right away ( we’re looking at you scott! ) and think you have it figured out ( don’t look away, clark) and you are sure this is nothing worth your time ( roger!) it is…
The thing about the Doctrine. The fun part and the exciting part. Those of us you see coming here (look to the right for that sidebar that shows locations), again and again are learning more about the use of the Doctrine every day. We are the glowing French rats, the ones that Marie thought had died, we are running through and around the sewers of Paris, glowing like hell and scaring the everyday people.
We welcome you to join us, if you have what it takes to stop being such ‘ups’ and start being cool.

This post seemed to have some of that good old teenage angst.
Thank you.
It’s not all on the surface, that’s certain.
Should have added, as much as certain can be.
