The term ``instantiating'' is common in Object Oriented
Programming (OOP) where one creates instances of a class.  In
python one might have:

class People(object):
	def __init__(self, name, sex):
		self.name = name
		self.sex = sex

billc = People('Bill Campbell', 'male')
mark = People('Fairlight', 'male')
nancy = People('Nancy Jones', 'female')

print '%s is a %s' % (nancy.name, nancy.sex)

In this case, billc, mark, and nancy are instances of People.

There has been no greater threat to life, liberty, and property
throughout the ages than government. Even the most violent and brutal
private individuals have been able to inflict only a mere fraction of
the harm and destruction that have been caused by the use of power by
political authorities. -- Richard Ebeling
