All throughout recorded history, people who were caught stealing paid for their crimes in one way or another. Fine. Jail sentence. Flogging. Chopping off the hand that stole the object. Depends on when and where they lived. Thieves who didn’t get caught were free to enjoy their spoils and carry on with their lives as though the crimes never occurred. This is wrong, God. Just plain wrong!
Earth 2.0 bad guys – whether or not the authorities nab them – should experience something troubling every 11 days for the rest of their life. If, however, they sincerely apologize to their victim (bended knee, preferably) and do something really nice to make up for it, the 11-day cycle of horror would end after one year. Thank you in advance for making this happen.

My Vision for the Animal Kingdom
The problem with animals, as you well know, is the great harm they can inflict on people. For example, a lion in the prime of life will almost certainly tear a person to pieces unless the lion is behind bars (zoo) or hidden from view (jungle). To enjoy the beauty and wonder of lions, we must incarcerate them (zoo) or view them from a safe distance (telephone lens/helicopter). The same can be said about fish (sharks), lizards (pythons) and birds (pterodactyls). These ferocious creatures are in stark contrast to puppies, parakeets and penguins -- fun and rather harmless life forms. So, I have to ask, why the enormous range on the safety scale?
For Earth 2.0, I'd like to see less violence and less variety (do we really need 1,100 different kinds of bats?). Let animals and humans co-exist peacefully. No eating one another allowed under any circumstance! We should be able to play with animals and not fear for our lives. I’ve always wanted to stroke the velvety midsection of a Bengal tiger sprawled out on my living room rug, but I value my internal organs too much to take that chance.
If we’re allowed to safely pet any animal we like on Earth 2.0, I suppose animals should be allowed to play with humans. I, for one, wouldn’t mind one bit if a chimpanzee asked me to help it achieve better posture. In return, maybe I could learn how to climb more effectively.
Well, these are my initial thoughts. If you want more ideas as you redesign the animal kingdom for the world to replace this one, I would be honored to speak to you about it personally.
