How? I've addressed kinstrife before:
:: Many actions can be alleged to be chaotic (the Orlanthi consider Kinstrife :: and enlightened leadership/Lokomaydanism to be chaotic) but may not be :: chaotic.

I disagree. Certain cultures might have magical rituals to remove the accumulating chaos taint before it actually causes a chaos feature*. but I do not believe that mere cultural practices can confer resistance to chaotic acts.
