Not enough real lawyerin' work -- part II

A (the?) loyal Wild Rose country reader forwarded an image of an email making the rounds in Calgary. It's apparently the early salvo from Mr. Kraik, Esq., precursor to the law suit reported last month.



My first reaction was, "Wow, what pompous windbag!" I read it to my wife, and she cut me down a notch with: "Sounds like you might sound if it were your daughter." Obviously, I winced because she softened it a little bit by adding, "He sure is full of himself though." So, I read it again and have decided that, yes, I probably would defend my daughter equally vigorously in a similar circumstance.

But counselor Kraik is doing neither himself nor his son any favours by deluding himself with a fantastical notion of his child's purity and perfection. More than that, what kind of example is he setting by blaming somebody else for each problem and shouldering no responsibility? I wouldn't want to meet young Alexander when he becomes a teenager who has come to believe in his entitlement.
