Leaving aside SQLite's source material for their so-called CoC, it's not actually a CoC or enforceable in any way. There's no way to address behavior that violates the Rule of Saint Benedict. I wonder why... Oh, wait, I don't! It's because the Rule of Saint Benedict is designed to work for a very small community (i.e. a monastery) entirely comprised of people who have already agreed to live by the same rules.

A couple of things I want to point out about this morning's DHS raid on the #occupyicepdx camp that highlight the reasons protesting is important right now. DHS' officers are not identified beyond their affiliation with DHS.
