{Mail order brides are, pretty much, always a bad idea.]

We are not talking about brides. We are talking about "Katrina, meet Jim, Jim meet Katrina". We are talking about the government getting involved with basic human interactions....long before marriage becomes an issue.

So. . .a man would contact such a service for what other reason than to seek a wife?

This seems discriminatory to American women. Shouldn't the government be requiring all dating services to process criminal, financial, divorce, health, gun ownership and political affiliation background checks before allowing any introductions?

And why stop at dating clubs? Why not bars, church potlucks or gyms?

What's with all the half-*ss fascism? We need maximum totalitarianism!

How so? It seems to be aimed at a for-profit business rather than individuals.

"For example, the IMBA requires American men who wish to correspond with foreign women through private for-profit matchmaking agencies to first provide those businesses with their police records and other personal information to be turned over to the women.

I'll agree it's a stupid law but it doesn't sound as bad as it is being made out to be.
