But Tomek, Batman and Superman are unanimously viewed as heroes, fighting crime, catching criminals so they could be brought to justice.  Every American (even Bruce) knows the comic book superheros HAD to wear masks to make themselves less vulnerable to the bad people.  In the cartoons/movies the only people who disliked that they wore masks were the bad guys themselves.  Remember, Joker and the Penguin were always trying to unmask Batman.  Perhaps, there's a few jokers here on italki as well. ;)  Really, what you look like doesn't matter nearly as much as how you act.  So... who cares if you show your pic or not?  

"Natures creatures allow themselves to be seen. Why should not people be seen?"

Umm... Bruce, are you not aware of camouflage in nature?  Stick insects and caterpillars resembling plants so much that they cannot be seen until they exibit some movement.  The spots on a fawn that help it blend into the forest floor.  The fact that the females and chicks of most bird species are less colorful than the males. In fact, I can't think of an example, except perhaps domesticated animals, where the female is more noticeable than the male.  I know you were trying to convince people to post their pics on this site but really... it doesn't matter if they do or not. What matters is that they are comfortable with their choice and it's really no one else's business.  

They're sociopaths.  Something inside these people is broken.

Thank you Sade. You're awesome. :)  

Alexander is 100% correct.  Unfortunately.  We only have degrees of freedom.

Thanks. I never put much stock in astrology so I know very little about it.  I knew different cultures built structures oriented to the heavenly bodies; but, I never knew there was a correlation between the calendars of different civilizations.  I still wonder why the Persians have the same calendar as the the zodiac.  There has to be some connection somewhere.
