"He maintained lists of Filipino girls wanting to marry Americans and would introduce them by mail."

My stepmother is a mail order bride from Belarus. This is not a joke. I also see nothing wrong with it. She and my father have been married about 15 years. "Mail order" matches have been around a few centuries. Internet dating services, intracountry AND extra, are only the latest incarnation.

Alone from night to night you'll find me
Too weak to break the chains that bind me
I need no shackles to remind me
I'm just a prisoner of FR

It's in my dreams awake or sleeping
Upon my knees to it I'm creeping
My very soul's a slave to freeping
I'm just a prisoner of FR
