Mumble.. I would prefer to state it:
When one talk about the ``the State'', one should avoid making it
into a person (personalizing it). ``The State'' has no feelings,
wishes, needs, etc. But _the_humans_ who control and lead the State
most certainly have them.
By pointing out who performs the acts, etc., one can see that
``the State'' consists of humans, the controllers and the controlled,
and that the controlling humans form a group, a clique, and that
``the State'' serves their purposes, and give them power over the
rest of the humans.
Comments?

|Anyone interested?
This follows logically from the fact that the subject interests at least me. :)
