Healthcare costs, as everyone has said, are insane. I'm still paying for the epinephrine shots they gave my baby daughter, who died in 2008. Not trying to be morbid, but that has to change. Go Obama and healthcare reform in general!

Guns, everywhere. They freak me out, along with gun related activities like school shootings...

Alright, I'll join in:

BEST:

The wooden houses they build that are actually affordable! I can actually (one day, again - long story) afford to own a house here, whereas in the UK one has to have either a good inheritance or a penchant for selling one's own body parts simply to get on the housing ladder.

Voluminous amounts of donuts.

All-you-can-eat Chinese restaurants. Like them a lot.

Space. Lots of space outside the cities.

Crunchy Co-Op stores. They're lots of fun. Nice milk.


WORST:

The surprising ignorance so many people seem to live with every day - regarding things like other countries, other people, languages, punctuation, shape of the earth and other meaningful things...

The lack of decent, affordable chocolate, steak-and-ale pies, cold meat pies of any description and all manner of other tasty foodstuff. Ah, if I could only reach out and pick up a dipped flake at the supermarket checkout...but no...
