Mail-Order Brides

Saturday, November 24th, 2007

So, The Insider ran a story this evening about mail order brides. How that they could be subjected to being abused or treated poorly. Essentially they are East European girls who dream of a better life in America. Sure, some are gold diggers, I’d guess, and sure, some of the American guys just want to take advantage. But, I’d imagine that some are also genuine on both parts. I’m not here to pass judgement. If it works, that’s good.

But, one part of the program caught my attention, the “agency” that puts these people together and makes the matches! They can cost up to $9,000 just to be a member! Wow, this industry must seriously have some spendable money!

As I understand it, you have to write one of these each time you create a blog. So, here goes. I already had a blog, but just decided to move it onto my own website and host it myself and use WordPress, etc. So, experimenting away!

This should be fun. Enjoy the read! :D
