5 Boxes of freedom

Following an NPR story on twitter use in China and read some of the comments. Listed was a passing reference to "the four boxes of liberty." I did some more searching as I was a bit lost, and this is what I found:
The Five Boxes of Liberty

The commentary on each box is not something I am espousing, just wondered what people thought about the illustration of our rights using boxes.

It looks like the constitution for people addicted to powerpoint presentations.

Goofy. I prefer words over pie-charts, as did the folks who wrote our founding documents.
