	Chaotic in no way precludes trying to dominate people by using
anything whatsoever.  Chaotic in Nixon's way of being chaotic refers to being
self-centered and disrespectful of the law except for its usefulness as a tool
to gain one's own ends.  This fits Nixon's description much better.  He was,
as I said, not in favor of law and order except as it benefitted him, to a
great extent.

	Sure, this isn't net.politics, but using politicians as examples of
alignments is a useful tool in frp.
