But it was definitely a LE society. Might made right the empire always came first.    A Chaotic Anarchist could believe bombing and destruction are the only way to cleanse the planet.  They could refuse all flexibility in thought because everyone needs to die to save the world.   Or not because those patterns and traits have nothing to do with belief in chaos, law, evil or good.   Any person of any alignment could have those traits. QUIT............tying personality, intelligence, emotional intelligence, goals, ambitions or anything else completely to the Alignment. Many a creative flexible ,LE, personable friendly Roman wiped out many a culture throughout history.   LG people can be terrified to stand up to the evil in front of them and crawl back into thier houses and do nothing and still be LG.   Survival can trump alignment.  Alignment has nothing to do with how flexible your thought is, how intelligent you are, how educated you are or how dedicated to your moral principles you are.   Those are personality traits, education and interests not alignment.    Alignment is just your beliefs and moral compass not your personality traits or driver of your actions.</blockquote>
