Most of the things I really want to see happen in the next 18 months are things I'm already working toward, and either involve my personal life, or, are startup ideas that I don't feel like sharing in a public venue quite yet.
What I'd like to see happen in the next 3-5 years or so:
* switch to a more merit-weighted voting system in the US. (Examples: Dr. Smith's vote in a Presidential election should weigh more than Billy Bob. An astronaut more than an ex-con. Higher tested IQ's more than those with lower.)
* switch to a single-payer health system in the US
* complete withdrawal of US military forces from Iraq and Afghanistan; then massively reduce overseas deployment and positioning of US forces, then cut US military budget in 1/2 (to start)
* some serious steps taken by the US government to truly start reducing the deficit and pay off the debt (with serious consequences to those in power if they do not stick with it, such as leaders/politicians going to jail if they do not)
