I'm Not A Subject Of The European Union

After having my blog hosted by google's blogger dot com for about four years , it's time to look for a new home for my stuff. They are trying to make me cater my posts to the sensitivities of the european union. That's just a start. Next , they will be banning any criticism of islam and will declare my mohammed stick man cartoon to be hate speech. I am American,
not european ( thank God ) . I am not subject to the laws of the european union, saudi arabia, iran, north korea, china, etc. I only observe American law.

I guess it is just time to move on. In the next few days , I hope to have a temporary new home for my blog. I'll be searching for a new email provider too. If google is going to censor me , I don't want my email held hostage. Soon , I will cut all things " google " from my life, including you tube.
Here's the notice google posted when I signed into my blog :
