Political Statement In Linux-Polippix

I like the idea of Polippix where in the 21st century freedom (not fanaticism) of speech is curtailed in the name or guise of religion, race, beliefs and practices.
IT guys with political vision in Denmark has produced a Ubuntu based distribution in the style of Knoppix but with TOR(but lacking in most of the innovative packages of Knoppix) for anonymous access of the internet.
It wants to set standards for
1. Freedom
2. Privacy
3.Standards for IT with political vision.

What like most is the TOR is not activated by default but can activate once the CD is booted up and running and when one needs it only.
It has telephone access with IP protocol which can be configured and is a very good ploy to access a friend in a different soil (country).

Only down side is it is slow (KDE desktop consumes lot of RAM) to boot and consumes lot of RAM.

I hope they make a lighter version on XFce or Openbox for the third world where people use archaic and ancient gadgets to assess the Internet, usually secondhand computers with low RAM.
With it booted up I could not get all the features of www,wordpress.com to write a comment on Polipix in WordPress blog of mine.
