Okay, I'll throw a few into the mix that I have brought up before:

1. Rebuild the residential areas of New Orleans on large barge/blocks that are so well disguised that you really don't think yer looking at a barge until the storm come and then the entire block floats...

2. Private/public parnerships between prisions and industries where inmates work fir specific companies witha portion of their income, when relevant, going toward restitution to the victims of families of vistims of the crimes they committed... When the inmate has done his time he or she moves right into the same position with the same company in the outside world.

3. Public financing of all political campaigns from dog cvatcher to president and every position in between... This is the only way to restore democracy...

4. A Department of Peace is long overdue...

Yeah those touch on a few that I have bvurnt up some gray matter over...

Now, as fir depleted uranium... The facts about the effects are being withheld... There was doctor at a VA hospital who was zeroing in on the physical effects of vets who had traces of DU in their bodies... When he brought it to the attention of the higher ups he was dismissed...

So, yeah, given the company line, DU isn't a threat... But, like many other comapny lines we've heard over the last few years is just that: a company "line"... There is a thread I started a couple years agop on this so there's no use thrying to highjack Donuel'as perfectly good thread over an issue that has been hashed out in the past...
