average cost of living in the United States, but
it is not adjusted for regional or local
differences. The number of children living in

Abstract Formal Idea Power Is Exercised State

The state is like God, some believe that its the
all mighty powerful being that controls all and
others just think its a big overblown idea. The
idea of the state (and God) is fairly confusing
but rarely ever challenged, except by those rare
few who seem to form their own opinions. The state
is thought to be merely an idea, an ideological
thing or an abstract formal idea. I know that the

to me that the state would be an abstract formal
idea; the ...
