because its the integrated scripting language in my app. great for setting things in the app and can do things like

proc a {} { puts "a"}

proc b {} { puts "b"}

set c a

$c ;# prints a

set c b

$c ;# prints c

if everything the govt provides has to be levied a fee, what is the tax collected for? oh probably buying weapons from usa, israel, uk, france and russia?

they also maintained cattle? i dont think 3 million people would have used only 3% of the forest area if their main diet was bovine heavy.

if you dont destroy something, its usually close to an idea of pristine.

the trouble is slash and burn agriculture and clearing for beef production.
