It would be great if you included the legalization of industrial hemp in possible future plans in the US. The benefits of hemp are tremendous; a great food/protein source, fuel, clothes, sustainable agriculture/crop rotation, etc). It is legal in most parts of the world, icluding Europe, China, Canada, but politics and ambiguous laws at home make it illegal to grow. You might know all about hemp, but if not, ask me (or Dan - another hemp freak)for info if you're interested.
