[Clinging Bitterly]

I never expected it to so perfectly illustrate the happenings of today.

Compare the quatrains of Nostradamus with the writings of Ayn Rand. (Perhaps not the best comparison but chosen because of his popularity in modern culture.) Though presented in very different styles, they are both predictions at their very root. One is quite indeterminate, the other concrete. I have never heard it said of the former 'I never expected it to so perfectly illustrate the happenings of today.'
Your assessment of Rands writing, and I agree, is one that I believe is widely held. If Rand had as much coverage in todays media as Nostradamus what would be the result?
