nah, I couldn't stand the prick.... I became the musician I am DESPITE of him, not because of.... My buddy (who became a band director since graduation) asked me if I was going to attend the funeral with him. I laughed. There are about 50 other teachers I have had in my life that I would go to LONG before I would go to my band director's. He had also just been fired for getting pulled over with a joint in his car, they got a search warrant and searched his house and found a mother load. Tragic end to a pathetic life of banging highschool girls, doing drugs, and just being a prick to the kids who didn't do the same. But, with all that said, a lot can be learned from his pathetic demise.... one is, if you're a teacher, don't smoke pot, and if you see a deer in the road while doing 60 mph, you take it on head on.

When it happens, I'll let my instincts and whatever else take control. If I find myself so shocked and surprised that I just try to slam on the brakes, then let that be. If I find myself with plenty of time (as in like seeing the animal from a distance), then I can quickly think of what to do. That is not negligence. Don't underestimate the power of the human brain. 
It seems to me that you tend to lack compassion for animals from your posts.

I simply value human life over animal life. I'm willing to bet my band director's two kids wish he just hit the damn deer head on.
I think you overestimate your driving ability. that you can keep control of your 3000# vehicle at 60 mph on an uneven surface, and that you won't snatch the wheel when you try to come back on the road and shoot across both lanes and hit a telephone pole. And like the guy who just posted his story of almost killing him and his fiance because he thought he could control it while avoiding a skunk.
