I've never read the book, so if the question is which one is a better adaptation, I'll have to pass. As far as movies go, I always watch the original when it's on television. I never was able to get all the way through the remake.
I had one of these, it was a quarter. I used to keep LSD hits in it. Then I lost it and I think there was still one left so, CHECK YOUR WASHINGTON-HEAD QUARTERS, might make for a fun afternoon!
While it doesn't take away from the quality of the writing, Thoreau basically lived someone's backyard in a cottage and made frequent trips to town. Not exactly roughing it even for the standards of the time. It'd be like you living in your shed and coming to the house for showers and food.
I'm working on this, though to a less extreme degree. Self sufficient house (water collection, solar power, wind power, greywater/sewage treatement, indoor/outdoor garden, chickens/ducks/goats). Soon I'll have enough saved up so the dividends I receive will pay for the annual medical coverage I desire. Then I just need to earn enough for luxuries, really. That's the way to do it, not live in a cave sponging off friends.
The U.S. Code cited above is an intent-based issued. The only case law it was ever cited in is one involving fraudulent altering.
The key words to understanding section 333 are "with intent to render such bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence of debt unfit to be reissued"
Most people will understand this as defacement (such as shredding) so as the bill is no longer able to be used as a bill (i.e. no one would take it). In reality, in means more along the line of defacement so as when the bank takes it as a deposit and realizes something is wrong (likes it's half a $20 and half a $2 taped together but counted as $20). Now the bank can't re-issue it.
Bottom line, it's not illegal to tear up your own money.
If you've never been to 4chan, do yourself a favor and don't go. What has been seen cannot be unseen. 4chan is the meth/heroin of the internet. There are no weekend warriors!
I changed one of these once (password written on machine) from Buckle Up to "Super Happy", not sure why, it's something I thought would make people think. Super Happy...what? It was a spur of the moment thing and I was 16 and decided I didn't want to curse or be vulgar, so that severly limited my creative thinking.
Corollary: Except with a homebrew killdozer.
Lol, ahh, I miss that show.
1. Some big PharmaCorp produces a trade name blue dye product for medical pruposes, e.g. Bluedenol.
2. Same Big PharmaCorp lobbies Congress to include only Bluedenol in the Universal Healthcare package.
3. Profit.

That's how I feel about fat rolls and mustaches but my girlfriend won't lose weight or shave her stache.

That seems to be shifting responsibility a bit.
