    Your expecting Minneapolis, Hennipin Country, who have recently banned smoking to provide internet access? Sure just don't download anything on it, I give them 2 weeks before they ban relious content via the network, porn, music, how-to-make-meth books, and any thing else those fuck-offs can think of. Minnesota, the state where nothing is legal... Fuck it.
