Shamash, the Dispeller of Darkness! Shamash, the most common Akkadian name for sun god, was the embodiment of justice. The giver of light, Shamash was known to disperse darkness by bringing wrong & injustice to light. The early Babylonians and Assyrians considered Shamash to be an inspiration to many and put together the pre-existing laws and legal procedures into a code that was in adoration of Shamash, the dispeller of darkness. Sun God (Shamash, giver of light) was also regarded as the one who relieved the sufferers from the clutches of evil spirits and demons.

Supporters wait for Barack Obama to speak at a rally in Cleveland, Ohio, on November 2, 2008. Photo by Jauretsi. Although that pesky thing known as "the law" kept non-citizens from voting in Tuesday's U.S. presidential election, it turns out that there was nothing to stop enthusiastic foreigners from showing up at a local campaign office and asking to volunteer. More than a few Torontonians did just that, including Alex Weinberger (a staffer in the Toronto office of New Democrat Leader Jack Layton) and me (a former speechwriter to a Liberal Member of Parliament) who took the Greyhound to Cleveland, Ohio, to spend the final days of the campaign working to turn that swingiest of swing states Obama blue. In Glenville, the low-income, predominantly African-American east-side neighbourhood in which we were based, the challenge was never convincing residents to vote for Barack Obama: out of ballots cast at one local school, only three went to John McCain, compared to five hundred for
