Week 2 Anachronisms
anach·ro·nism 1 : an error in chronology; especially : a chronological misplacing of persons, events, objects, or customs in regard to each other 2 : a person or a thing that is chronologically out of place; especially : one from a former age that is incongruous in the present
I have been asked to give three examples of anachronisms. Hmmm. In my opinion, three current anachronisms are:
#1- Lincoln Continentals/Cadillacs/SUV's
#2 -record players
#3 -Teddy Kennedy
They are all still here, they may have once served a function in our society, but they are throwbacks now to a different age, virtual dinosaurs, a sort of cultural flotsam that is already going out on the last tide.

Sorry for answering you in your webpage but this is the only way for me to react after your very interesting comment in my blog. I'm sure that what you said about Jesus is true. i'm not a real believer, so that's why I don't know a lot of stuff about the Bible and I actually said a bunch of things in my post that probably weren't accurate. But this is just the way I see things: I'm not sure Jesus ever existed, but if he did, well I don't think he was sent on Earth by God to prevent the humankind from being happy. I think he would have been ok with men falling in love with men and women falling in love with women. The sin thing is something that has been made up by religious groups to impose their views.
Alright, thanks for reading, now you can delete this message if you wish!! And thanks for dropping a line in my blog, it was nice of you and your comment was truly welcome!
