Freckles: Beautiful or Unfortunate?

Wikipedia says "Freckles are clusters of concentrated melanin which are most often visible on people with a fair complexion. A freckle is also called an "ephelis." The freckle phenomenon spans races and complexions though. Despite it's rareness in the African race, freckles are indeed genetic and are passed down and are triggered by exposure to sunlight (UV-B radiation specifically). Contrary to popular belief, freckles aren't a skin disorder or skin condition, they're simply a variation due to melanin amounts in the skin.
How do you feel about freckles?
