Or any of the others who have fallen asleep and killed people.

You "buzz" will wear off and you will crash - literally and figuratively.

Starting a drive like that after being up for 20 hours is stupid.

:lol: :lol: :lol: I'm willing to place bets, that the attorney whom has that blog you posted, made flyers of that very story, and passed them out to as many "victims" from that accident in Saint Louis, we all discussed at length, as he possibly could !!

If you need some energy get some good ole fashion SLEEP. But seriously though if you need a little bit of energy I'd drink 5 hour power. It work great! Red bull and those canned energy drinks are nothing but caffine. The 5 hour power doesn't have sugar or caffine

Sounds to me like the OP has an inordinate yearning to meet God.

Forrest Gump said: Stupid is as Stupid does!! The OP is a case of "proof" of that.

Not that it changes anything regarding the situation in that story, but did anyone else notice this:

Quote:

In the van were the 15-year-old driver, Nikki Mann, her siblings, Elizabeth Mann, 15, Johnny Mann, 13, and Heaven Mann, 3; two cousins, Ashley Keen, 14, and Miranda Finn, 10; and the Manns’ foster brother, Anthony Lamb, 20 months.
Emphasis added.

That aside, I've gotten caught up in the whole 'outlaw' thing myself.. and made haste in abandoning it. It's just not worth it.

Now, let's talk about these ackjasses who openly say these things. Have you ever noticed how, whenever someone goes on a killing spree, the first thing the media seeks to do is find web pages, internet profiles, and such, looking for any prior indication they gave of what they were going to do?
Now, what do you think will happen, should you end up killing somebody in an accident, and their loved ones (plus attorneys) go fishing for evidence to support their lawsuit they file against you and your company?
Seriously, people, use some common [fornicating] sense! :roll:

My years of experience have taught me that a man should work 8 hours a day, and sleep 8 hours.

I chose to drive at night. That way, I could sleep while I was driving.
