"First they ignore you. Then they ridicule you. And then they attack you and want to burn you. And then they build monuments to you."
-- Nicholas Klein (commonly attributed to Ghandi)
Rand is mocked and attacked by some (who know very little about her actual ideas^), but increasingly appreciated others. It won't be that long before our culture starts to shift into the fourth phase, wherein it finally gives her ideas the credit they deserve.
^If you skipped Galt's speech in Atlas Shrugged and haven't read her non-fiction works, you don't know much about her actual ideas.
tl;dr: This is evidence that Objectivism is making its mark.
