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

well, the snow is waiting outside. soon time to grab my Tantalus® brand snow shovel and get to it.

Remind us to tell the story of how it came to be that the thought of shoveling snow or, (for an even more intriguing tale) using a shovel in any application…outdoors of course.

It’s kinda fascinating, except, perhaps for those of you who: have (human) children and/or are clarks or are possessed of a significant secondary clarklike aspect.

For now our short video.

Hey! interesting veering off the path to writing a Monday post. ok, a RePrint post.

Recently we were talking about Utah and how the Doctrine were sorta pioneers in the use and abuse of impromptu videos the following came to mind. So we found the original entry.

anyway, for proof of the effects of secondary aspects on one’s predominant worldview, we offer the following.

ed. Just watched the video. Thought it might be good to add some notes, a libretto for a non-musical opera, if you will. This video came about because of our first Doctrine business conference roadtrip. Back in 2011 or 12. On our first day in Salt Lake City, we took our rental car out to Bonneville Salt Flats with the intention of driving at hight speeds. That was not to be. The end of the video references ‘the Rite of Hat‘ which was a thing back then. (This post will have a link for ‘the Treaty of Tordesillas. That”ll ‘splain everthing._)

Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine ( the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers )Hey, I have the Right of Hat and I totally owe it to (our) Readers to stand up for the Beliefs and Principles that are at the foundation of this here Doctrine here.
So the Bonneville Salt Flats? Mine. Salt Lake City? (BYU co-eds inclusive? ditto that, good buddies). Guess that covers the useful and/or attractive parts of the State of Utah (State Motto: …‘as many wives as they want? and the Pope is cool with that?…ok come on down! ‘ ). And this is all mine by virtue  of  the Treaty of Tordesillas (ratified by the Pope in 1494). Hey, just taking what’s mine. Don’t look at me, I didn’t make this stuff up!( The country you are sitting in while reading this Post? Look around…go ahead, get up from your computer and look out your window, we’ll wait.  Thats right! All that you could see is what it is just cause some Pope in 1494 decided, “Heyyy, Portogallo, Spagna … vieni qui, vieni qui! Ya non può mantenere combatte il nuovo mondo … è un male per affari, capiche? L’unica cosa giusta è quella di dividere tale emisfero tra voi due … i popoli indiginous? non ti preoccupare ’bout nulla, quando la Madre Chiesa ha finito con loro … non voglio sapere! )So Utah is mine. But thats not important now.Notice the upper right column of the Wakefield Doctrine ‘homepage’? We are in the process of re-doing the  ‘About’  feature/section. The unavoidable truth of the matter is that a lot of people visit  this site and a lot of people leave as soon as they see the first page! They leave, even though it clearly says that the Wakefield Doctrine ( the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers ) is both very, very helpful in interpersonal relationships and is totally fun for everyone!  ( “…what? it doesn’t?!?!?  you mean we don’tmake it totally, un-avoidably, trans-abundantly clear that the Doctrine is both useful and fun!!?…wtf!! )
Sorry, I apologise for an apparent mis-communication between the creative department and the editorial department at the blog. If there was one thing that was to jump out at new Readers, the very second they could read the Title of this blog, it was to have been:  this thing of ours is unique and it is useful and it is fun!
Appears that this has not quite been the case. That will be rectified. We’re asking any Readers out there for any suggestions for how we get this message to the new Readers, any input will be appreciated. Heck, you could even call in your suggestions tonight! This being Saturday, tonight is the Saturday Night Drive ( 218-339-0422 then when prompted 512103# ).  ( “…that is up there, isn’t it? On the front page? “ )Here is a quick list of the ways that the Wakefield Doctrine can benefit you:

• you will understand why it takes your husband until the end of Summer to decide on which lawn mower to buy
• you will have fun with your extremely out-going bff by demonstrating to your (other) friends how easy it is to distract them
• the quiet person in your office? the one with the clothing from the late 80’s? the Doctrine will show you how to get them to do all your work!
• you know how much fun you think it is to laugh at people in distress? the Doctrine will tell you why your thinking that is funny is proof that you have the ‘depth of personality’ of a 5 year old
• hats, you are a reputedly hetero-sexual male, yet hats make you want to wear them…the Doctrine will introduce you to re-enacting! (Civil War, Revolutionary War, Peloponnesian War, doesn’t matter!)
