- Killing thieves does not work and is not good for the public.
- Theft is not severe enough to be punished by death. The king need to make people not want to break the law in the first place
- Having idle soldiers is a waste.
- Resources could be spent on something else and having a large army increases crime.
- The king needs to ban gabling and rebuild villages destroyed by it, as well as help rebuild agriculture in the areas.
- I do not think he should outlaw gambling, but he needs to rebuild villages and help with agriculture
- Thieves should be made into slaves for the person that catches them.
- Having slaves in a free society causes problems for the whole freedom aspect.
- The king should focus on improving what he has and not try expanding it.
- The king should know what he has and should focus on make it better.
- A perfect society is for all and not just for one.
- A utopia applies to the whole society.
as a distraction...

Wow, that was amazing.
i agree on your points and reasoning except numero cinco (5). i feel that there should be a balance of focusing on what you have and expanding as well. i mean isnt that what america did by expanding all the way to the west? Having a small nation expand will make room for the people in the future to live i guess.
I agree with you the ensalving criminals is a threat to freedom. Are you condoning gambling? I agree with your approval of the statement "A perfect society is for all and not just for one." I think it is wise of King to focus on improving what he has rather than trying to obtain more. I don't know if I like the idea of killing thieves either.
