Emerson's Child

           These past few days we discussed Emerson's essay, I think I've got some ideas on how Emerson thinks, yet again I'm not him and these are my opinions. If Emerson would here to see the 2016 presidential election,  I think Emerson would view the presidential election like any of us quite confusing on how we ended up with such two candidates. "...

The dream started badly.  You were in line with your family at a [restaurant] waiting to be sent to [a table near the window ].  Everywhere you looked there were posters of president-elect [Seth Stone  ], looking like a crazy [bull] who could eat a whole [SUV].    Suddenly, there was Ralph Waldo Emerson telling you, " [..some  powerful mind acting on the elemental thought of duty.. ] ."  You realized that you have something to contribute to the world so you decided to [scream for the top of your lungs your opinion on the election  ].  But it wasn't ...
