I have started listening to random American city council meetings lately for white noise. Since they're all bureaucratic-flavored boredom anyway.

No limit on how long someone can speak during public comments.

~~Well, Spokane enforces a 2 minute limit. What city do you recommend I listen to if I want to hear longer open forum stories?~~

EDIT: Oh wait, I replied from the inbox, nevermind. Fort Scott, Kansas is definitely the place.

People can ramble on about anything. Come on down! :)

So... if I have the money to fly down to Fort Scott do I get to ramble on for 3 hours about how their city council has been such a great source of white noise, generating additional white noise for me in the process that I can use once I return to Manila?

Please do. Our one good barbecue closed, please bring some good food. Also a gallon of calamansi.
