It also shows what an unrealistic idea you're trying to use!  The whole idea
depends on your own political beliefs.  I certainly wouldn't put Khadaffy (sp?)
in the Chaotic Evil class.  I would put both Ronald Reagan & Margaret Thatcher 
in the Lawful Evil class; others would put them in the Lawful Good class!
Examples of this sort really aren't very helpful unless you're sure all your
readers share the same beliefs as yourself.
