In real life anything on the chaotic side will get you institutionalised and ostracised from society and if you are of evil bent, you will end up dead of it, in jail from it or just plain stompped on by the vast majority of the people who dislike your choice of being evil.

In terms of being evil it really depends on your intelligence, wisdom and charisma levels as to whether you get stomped on. Cheney and Bush seem to be quite evil men (in that they care primarily about maintaining their positions of power and ensuring the wealth of their institution regardless of the cost to innocents) but they conduct themselves in such a way as to make themselves appear merciful and just to ensure they maintain public support and power. They are smart, wise amd charismatic (well, perhaps not THAT charismatic) people. [img]smile.gif[/img]

And I dunno, being chaotic is not without it's charm. In recent decades the whole 'rebel' image has been held up and glorified by Western media. Everyone loved the fonz [img]smile.gif[/img]
