New Study shows that 89% of Americans favor euthanasia if “they are really, really old or make a lot of hooting noises during the day”

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

So what is the Wakefield Doctrine’s position on euthanasia?

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xxkeu_the-beatles-when-i-m-sixty-four_music

Alright, alright! Stop the clamoring and vague threats, the Wakefield Doctrine does not have an Official, Comprehensive position on the matter of euthanasia, what part of  “the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers” did not convey the idea that we are talking about three distinct personality types and therefore three different views on any given subject.

 Since you are here, we might as well take a moment and present the three views on aging:

  clarks  scotts rogers 
       
What do you think of Old People They are interesting-Have lots to share Eww Well, they seem to like to sit for long periods of Time listening to me
What will you be like as an Old Person? …err see me now?That, with less hair Old? Over my dead body Well, I think that I will enjoy being taken care in one of those homes
Should Old People be treated Special? Sure, why not? Yeah, lets make them do tricks for us on TV …as long as it does not detract from the attention the nurses pay to me
Euthanasia? Sure, if they want to Only if it is a game show…’Last Senior Standing’ or something Sure, but do it at night when no one will complain about the hooting

 

So, there is no real consensus on what to do with people when they get old and annoying (or maybe just annoying). But the Doctrine will take the position that old people will show the characteristics of their individual types very clearly.

  • clarks will age the least, ’cause they have been old from the start
  • scotts will appear to slow down the least, until they fall over dead
  • rogers will get even crankier, even though most laws of physics say that is not even possible
  • clarks who by definition have missed the whole point of Life, will get increasingly active as they age
  • scotts will not notice the physical effects of aging when it starts, the psychological effects they have never noticed
  • rogers will sit more, but they will be the most compliant guests in the home, until they stop getting visitors

two nuns, a rabbi and a Mormon are in a lifeboat in a terrible storm

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

Lots to cover, not much time.

Here at the Doctrine, AKH is on the prowl again! New Post from her in the ‘Hey! a scott is talking!‘  (the column right below this and slightly to the right).  As always, she v on the mark and very direct, as is characteristic of her kind. (ed. note: When she says you better write or call in, my advice is ‘better just do what she says’…word to the wise, I’m the frickin progenitor and all I get is a 3 second head start ). In any event, our Ms. AKH is out working the hustings  taking the Doctrine on the digital road, yo.

Oh, yeah, before I forget!  Tomorrow’s Saturday Night Drive?  Y’all in for a treat should you happen to dial: 218-339-0422  (then) enter: 512103#  ’cause none other than Progenitor roger be in da house. Due to my arrangements with certain people who insisted that Salt Lake City was the place to be in early March (Gooo! Fightin’ Mormons!) I will not be ‘on air’ as they used to say in the radio business. Fortunately, the roger stepped up and said, ‘oh man! really? I suppose but you better make it up to me’.

The photo? That is all I have with me at the moment to document my drive to the Bonneville Salt Flats to claim “by right of hat“. Just so no one is surprised and gets all, “oh man I was gonna claim Salt Lake City, they gots the Tabernacles and singers and pretty good skiing fairly nearby’. Well too bad, too sad. I will be the one with the hat in front of the landmark, which if you are a Reader of this blog, you will realise the City she is mine.! Now, if any rogers out there want to trade me, I might consider. If the truth be told, this whole State (of Utah) pretty as it is,…totally rogerian! Where the hell do I begin. Founder Joseph Smith seems like Roger Williams but with a slight case of ronco-itis. Now, don’t get me wrong, I like religions and even some rogers but a whole State? I should be impressed…actually lets make that our Wakefield Doctrine Lesson of the Day!

Religions according to the Doctrine:

  • Roman Catholicism: scottian ( predator-friendly violence-prone nuns, )
  • Protestant Denominations: rogerian  (they all look the same from here but who doubts they are all rogers)
  • Jehovah Witnesseses: rogerian
  • Buddhism (etc): clark ( ya think?)
  • Rastafarian: scotts (with cool hair)
  • Church of Scientology: rogerian (but extra points for extensive marketing)

Well, that wraps up our little Post. Will be back in town this weekend and should have something a little more coherent to add to the treasure trove that this thing of ours has become.

Don’t forget!! Call the roger

1)  A husting (called a stump in the United States) originally referred to a physical platform from which representatives presented their views or cast votes before a parliamentary or other election body. By metonymy, the term may now refer to any event, such as debates or speeches, during an election campaign where one or more of the representative candidates are present.  Hey, don’t act shocked at the arcanity…the ‘left field’ for the sake of the view…I’m a frickin clark! You wouldn’t want anything less.

March is Women’s History Month! (…no, wait… ) WTF!?!

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

Dinners ready, honey!

No, no let me get that door for you!

Presidential Proclamation–Women’s History Month, 2011

WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH, 2011

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

A PROCLAMATION ( if I can get a word in edgewise )

During Women’s History Month, we reflect on the extraordinary accomplishments of women and honor their role ( and rolls…crescent rolls  mmmm! ) in shaping the course of our Nation’s history.  Today, women have reached heights their mothers and grandmothers might only have imagined.  Women now comprise nearly half of our workforce ( ...and annoyed the hell out of the other half  ) and the majority ( thank god! Otherwise why go? ) of students in our colleges and universities.  They scale the skies as astronauts ( we voted for the term: “Sky Princess” but noo, had to be astronauts ) expand our economy as entrepreneurs and business leaders, and serve our country at the highest levels of government and our Armed Forces.  In honor of the pioneering women who came before us, and in recognition of those who will come after us, this month, we recommit to erasing the remaining inequities facing women in our day ( and trying really hard to remember to put down the toilet seat ).

This year, we commemorate the 100th anniversary of International Women’s Day, a global celebration of the economic, political, and social achievements of women past, present, and future.  International Women’s Day is a chance to pay tribute to ordinary women throughout the world and is rooted in women’s centuries-old struggle to participate in society on an equal footing ( why it’s a size 4 how could you suggest larger? ) with men.  This day reminds us that, while enormous progress has been made, there is still work to be done before women achieve true parity. ( Yeah!! Paarty!! What? Oh…yeah that too )

My Administration has elevated the rights of women and girls ( girls girls… long legs and burgandy lips.. )  abroad as a critical aspect of our foreign and national security policy.  Empowering women across the globe is not simply the right thing to do, it is also smart ( unless you want to sleep on the couch, yo ) foreign policy.  This knowledge is reflected in the National Security Strategy of the United States, which recognizes that countries are more peaceful and prosperous when their female citizens enjoy equal rights, equal voices, and equal opportunities.  Today, we are integrating a focus on women and girls in all our diplomatic efforts ( man that Hiliary, is she a scottian broad or what? ) and incorporating gender considerations in every aspect of our development assistance.  We are working to build… conflict related sexual violence, both bilaterally and at the United Nations ( shit, theys gonna hate that little joke. )

In America, we must lead by example in protecting women’s rights and supporting their empowerment.  Despite our progress, too many women continue to be paid less than male workers, and women are significantly underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (…mostly cause they are too busy painting teeny pictures of cats and unicorns on their frickin fingernails! Like do they think we care about fingernail decoration? )….

…As we reflect…

As we prepare to write the next chapter of women’s history, let us resolve to build on the progress won by the trailblazers of the past.  We must carry forward the work of the women who came before us and ensure our daughters have no limits on their dreams, no obstacles to their achievements, and no remaining ceilings to shatter ( unless, like she really, really wants to add another floor to the house.)

NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 2011 as Women’s History Month.  I call upon all Americans ( and American-ettes heh hehe ) to observe this month and to celebrate International Women’s Day on March 8, 2011 with appropriate programs, ceremonies, (…shopping sprees, make-over party and that crap they stick in vases to smell up the house, looks like incense back in the day ) and activities that honor the history, accomplishments, and contributions of American women.  I also invite all Americans to visit www.WomensHistoryMonth.gov to learn more about the generations of women who have shaped our history ( some of whom are not all that ugly ).

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-eighth day of February, in the year of our Lord two thousand eleven, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-fifth.

BARACK OBAMA

It might be best that I remind the Reader that the Wakefield Doctrine ( the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers ) is ‘gender neutral’. This means, of course,  that the worldview/perceptual bias is the same for men and women alike. To be even more specific, a clarklike female is every bit as distracted, ambiguous and creative as her male couterpart; and the scottian woman is as intent on determining the presence of predators (and prey) in her immediate environment as is the raging scottian male and rogerian woman…they are just about as girlish as is the average roger. (Just kidding,  a very feminine rogerian female is as girlish as the average roger…lol)

So the Doctrine joins the President in the Celebration of Womens Month!

AMA Study: Bible Thumping causes loss of hearing in lower frequency

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

Hey ho! It’s Wednesday, the most non-Wakefield Doctrine Day of the Week!

Why is that? Because every other day of the week forms a perfect framework to illustrate not only the primary characteristics of each (of the 3 personality types), but also the relationships that form (between) each of the three types. Lets begin with the Days of the Week.

  • Sunday rogerian type day
  • Monday clarklike day
  • Tuesday rogerian type day
  • Wesdnesday (all of the the 3/none of the 3)
  • Thursday clarklike day
  • Friday rogerian
  • Saturday scottian, way scottian
  1. Sunday: (rogerian) day  you know, if you have read any of this here blog here, you would know this one right off  because of the focus on Ceremony. Going to church, day of rest, Wonderful World of Disney, they are all ritualistic, totally proscribed activities.
  2. Monday: (clarklike) day, it is a time of the inevitable, a day full of dread and foreboding, the un-avoidable consequence of a weekend believing things could be different
  3. Tuesday: (rogerian) a day to measure the start of the work week, staff meeting day, “really get down and get the work done…where did those clarks go?” day
  4. Wednesday: can’t you read? this Post is all about Wednesday
  5. Thursday: (clarklike) in that when you hit Thursday,  it looks like you have made it through another week, yet the pressure to “enjoy life” on the weekend is not yet upon you
  6. Friday: (rogerian), TGIF!!  as we know rogers create acronyms like a fish takes to water, they believe in acronyms, ROLOTA (‘rogers love their acronyms’)
  7. Saturday: (scottian) (like you didn’t know that! )

So there we have the damn days of the week! Each and every one of them assigned characteristics according to the Wakefield Doctrine. Is there anything this Doctrine can’t do?

Don’t forget!! Saturday Night Drive  this Saturday 8:00 to 8:45 pm ET  Call us…you will be glad you did.  (Besides, given that Saturday is a scottian day, this is the only day that Ms. AKH and downspring glenn get to have any fun anymore.)

Shroud of Turin listed in Christy’s Auction House private catalog for 2012

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

Today the topic is: Practical Applications for the Wakefield Doctrine in the Workplace.

Situation A: You come to work on time and you work hard every day. You are friendly enough to your cubicle mates, but for the most part you keep to yourself. Your job entails the type of work where you are given a set number of assignments by a superior and then are left to complete the work on your own.  On the typical day your work is so simple (for you) that you usually get it all done way, way too early in the day so often you will devote your spare time at work, researching things that interest you in your own private life. One day your immediate supervisor walks by your cubicle as you are reading the Wakefield Doctrine. You explain to your supervisor that you have everything already done, he says “Thats alright, no problem” does not appear to be  upset. Two days later you get called into your supervisor’s office and you are fired.
According to the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers:

  • which of the three types are you?
  • which of the three types is your supervisor?
  • what could you have done differently to avoid getting fired?

Situation B: You are hired as the Manager of the Outreach staff of a large corporation that provides social services and  resources to municipalities and  institutions. You are naturally gregarious and out-going, you have a knack for dealing with people and feel that your sense of humor is one of your most valuable assets. The CEO of this company suggested you for the position, however, you find that the staff you are to manage is comprised of people who have been in the same jobs for many years (and have had many Managers before you). You decide to open your first staff meeting with a video clip of the first 10 minutes of the Eddie Murphy in concert movie, ‘Raw’. Of the staff of 10 people,  3 get up and walk out of the meeting, including the ‘de facto’ manager, (a woman who has been with the company since it was a start-up); the rest of your new staff stays on, laughing and enjoying the video clip and ultimately ‘getting’ the points that you intended in your use of this video. Overall a successful meeting, morale is clearly high. Two days later you get called to the CEO’s office for a meeting,  (the ‘de facto’ manager from your staff is there) and you are asked to explain your first meeting or submit your resignation.
According to the Wakefield Doctrine:

  • which of the three types are you?
  • which of the three types is the ‘de facto manager’?
  • what can you do or say to the CEO to avoid losing your job?

Lets see what this gets us for input and we will continue our discussion using the Comments.

And in return for DownSpring glenn’s selfolution on Saturday Night’s Drive:
