I prefer to think of good vs evil as altrusim vs egoism. LG is "the laws should protect everyone" and LE is "the laws should protect me". CG is "everyone should be free to live as they please" and CE is "I should be free to live as I please". Acting in pure self-interest with no regard for ideals would be CE, or maybe NE depending on how it's done.

I like your take, you said it better than I did.

I disagree. Lawful or Chaotic describes ones adherence to rules; either those of society or their own moral code. Chaotic would describe one who does not adhere to any rules or guidelines; nothing is off limits except that which would violate their alignment on the Good-Evil axis. Neutral would mean that one would bend those rules to achieve a particular outcome. Lawful is going to stick to the book; they're very conservative.
