This image illustrates an alternative ending scenario to the classic tale of 'The three Little Pigs.' It's a good story with a classic-Liberal message. Property is Freedom and Freedom is Life. Each of us has the Natural Right to Life, Liberty, The Pursuit of Happiness and to defend those Rights, both from the random assailant and organized, governmental assailants. Whether you call Natural Rights a gift from God, or just the way nature made us, Natural Rights supersede all other authority because; either they derive from a Greater Authority than any on this Earth, or as part of nature, anything that so violates natural order as to diminish one of these, is an abomination to nature, immoral, unethical, and with no claim to validity other than the power of the strong to suppress the weak and if that were moral, then so would be any act of strength that is levelled against an oppressor and its ers.
This is all part of the original story. When the pigs build houses they are asserting their right to have shelter so that they may live. When they build a house too strong for the wolf to blow down, they are opposing their oppressor's power with power of their own and when they boil him to death in their fireplace it is an act of self-defense and absolutely their right to do so.
As an update, in this version, the wolf has broken in and presents a threat of imminent harm to the pigs. So when one reaches for his pistol to shoot the wolf, he has every natural right to do so. He has the right to defend his house, his person and any other property he owns in accordance with a society's laws. And no court or prosecutor has the right to say that he must have accurately prejudged the threat and risk beforehand. If a citizen abuses their right of self-defense, that must be after they have abused that right, not before hand by assuming the citizen will abuse self-defense and on that excuse, denying the citizen the means to defend themselves.
For any human to be free, there must be rights that they possess that are theirs simply because they are human and that cannot be taken from unless they have done the same to someone else and that has been proven in a fair examination of whatever evidence exists.
Freedom cannot exist where the fundamental natural rights are not sacred. That is most nations in this world, including my own.

Edwin Loftus is an American painter and draftsman born in 1951. His interest in art began at the age of 4 when he decided to draw something real rather than working from his imagination. 

As a child he excelled at drawing and as a teenager he began to experiment with oil painting. In college, he took courses in art and art history and realized that true art had nothing to do with the quality of the drawing or painting, but that it had to have the ambition to push the boundaries and expand the visual experience. 

He also studied philosophy, psychology and history and quickly realized that it was just another art establishment trying to defend its elitist industry and reward system. Their skills were almost non-existent, they knew nothing about psychology, perception or stimulus response, and they were extensions of the belief system that made communism, fascism and other forms of totalitarianism such destructive forces in the world. They literally believe that art shouldn't be available to ordinary human beings, but only to an elite "sophisticated" enough to understand it. 

Edwin Loftus realized that the emperors of art had no clothes, but they were still the emperors. Gifted in art, he worked hard to acquire this skill. So he found other ways to make a living and sold a few artworks from time to time. For sixty years, many people enjoyed his works and some collected them. 

Today, Edwin Loftus is retired. Even if he sold all his paintings for the price he asked, "artist" would be the lowest paid job he ever had... but that's the way it is.  It won't matter to him after he dies. He just hopes that some people will like what he does enough to enjoy it in the future.
