Hey! I thought you said I would be famous by now and someone else would write these things

Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers) which just happens to be a fun, unique and productive way to look at the people in our lives and the way they act. With the Wakefield Doctrineyou can not only understand why they do the things they do, you can predict how they will act in any situation, at home, at work, at school and at play!

It  has been a productive week, in a exhilarating and depressing sort of way, here at the Doctrine. Exhilarating because we are beginning to better understand the obstacles that are before us as we continue our efforts to spread the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers across the globe and depressing because we are beginning to better understand the obstacles to spreading the theory of clark, scotts and rogers across the globe.  To wit: so far everyone who ‘gets’ the Wakefield Doctrine learned it directly. They were shown who in their circle of friends was a clark, show was a scott, who was a roger. The obvious advantage of this direct, ‘in person’ being the examples used to demonstrate and illustrate the three types was always correct and true to form. Plus there would be an immediate feedback loop between teacher and pupil.  And probably the most helpful thing of all, the simple fact that the teacher enjoyed the Doctrine and we all know that enthusiasm on the part of the teacher always conveys to a pupil. The damn thing is simply fun.

And therein lies our challenge. How do we convey the fun of the Doctrine? Limited to the present medium of communication, effectively teaching by email, we need to present the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers in such a manner that not only can the Reader  learn the characteristic traits of each of the three… but at the same time…have…….fun.         (yipee)

Well, it is way, way too late to stop now. The Doctrine is out there. We have Readers who come and read this blog and they/you deserve the opportunity to ‘get’ the real fun of understanding the theory of clarks, scotts androgers. There are approximately 100,000,000 people out in the internet every day, looking for exactly what we, here at the Wakefield Doctrine have to offer. So while we are hard at work making the format (of this blog) more ‘findable’, eventually they will all stop by and read this thing. So lets do the math! there are only 3 Progenitors and 4 DownSprings and if we divide the number of potential Readers equally among us and  if we make it our full time jobs to talk to everyone….that’s still…(carry the 1, divide….) ….(shit this calculator only goes to 10 millions….)… (screw it, add a zero…) …thats 14,285,714 people each!  Hey! that’s not as bad as I thought… let’s see now, we can  go out 5 days a week, see 4.5 people a day (on average, of course!) that means it will take us…90,702 days to reach ‘n teach everyone! (…one last calculation….)  that’s only 248.49 years!

I feel better now. It is do-able. It is just going to take time.  Er,  Readers? any of you happen to be Jehovah Witnesses? We really, really could use the help…seriously.  Some people, (scotts) like to make fun of Witnesseses {to a scott it must look like a group of Fenway Franks walking up the sidewalk to their door} but I actually admire them (…no! a clark liking something that everyone else is laughing at? that can’t be!!)… in all sincerity I give them props for their willingness to go against the stream and do their thing, and you’ve got to admit, they gots mad door-to-door skills.  Anyway, if there are any Jehovah Witnesesses among our Readers, I will not point you out, your secret is safe with us…but maybe you have some ad space in that Watch Tower mag?

So. We will keep up the efforts here. The Wakefield Doctrine can be learned from reading this blog, the Pages and the Posts and everything else. We will be reaching out through as many channels as possible.  Ms AKH seems to be donning the apparel of the Mistress of Publicitousity and she is doing yeoman-ette work in that regard. As a matter of record, she is Commenting about finding a Reader who is actually willing to admit to liking (sort of) this thing of ours!
“Hello (your name goes here) Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine!! Everyone help give me give (your name goes here) a warm Doctrine welcome. Hidy!”

So that gets us started for another day. Just so no one thinks that we do not have totally appreciative Readers, following are a couple of admiring Comments that I found (for some strange reason) in our Spam Folder:

Considerably, the blog post is actually the greatest on this worthy topic. I concur with your decisions and will thirstily look forward to see your approaching updates. Saying thanks will not just be adequate, for the phenomenal lucidity in your writing. I will at once grab your feeds to stay informed of any updates. Delightful work and much success in your business endeavors! Have a nice day

“they like us!! they really, really like us”…(Sorry cheap joke)

(Did someone say, “Hey Doctrine People, play us some old people rock and we will buy your hats (for our damn heads) and will even write Comments that are real, and thoughtful and we don’t mind if they are so totally off-base that one could only wonder if the writer (of such Comments) was drugged, overly tired or a Jehovah Witness!)
