False Dichotomy
The first thief violates the person who owns the bread, the second thief is stealing stolen goods
Taking ill gotten gains is not necessarily a moral wrong, in the Market Anarchist model this is how the property will be sorted out, basically those who obtained property via theft and violence of the state automatically invalidate their claim to said property. Neither thief has any specific "right" to food, just the "right" to obtain it.

@existentialistcat : As I was saying; well, just let me conclude. At the end of the day, Rand uses her characters like pawns to espouse a philosophy that is as unreal as her characters. That said, I must also say that I enjoyed the read, and I consider it an important study in what I do not wish to do in fiction ;) Cheers!

@existentialistcat Hello. I just watched this video and would like to comment Ayn (she pronounced it Ian) Rand. It struck me as particularly apt that you fastened onto 'orange peal hair,' as being unrealistic. In fact, Ayn was a writer in the Romantic tradition, whose work is supposed to give us an ideal to aspire. However, if you had continued to read, I think you would have been similarly effected throughout the novel; ...

@DRETUBE9 Not to sound like an apologist for her, but how is making a whopping few vids per year living in front of the camera? As for awkward recordings, I make them too. No one complains.. Why? Because I'm not a beautiful young woman many arbitrarily resent. Not to single you out, it just depresses me when she get's penalized for this vid. She wanted to ask me a question. Why does she have to be an authority on anything to do this or to talk about a topic that interests her?

youtube search "This is John Galt Speaking" - done by xcowboy2, that way you don't have to read Rand you can watch some ones well done interpretation.
Your thieves with the bread...how about they perform some beneficial task for the person they are getting their bread from, rather then expanding misery and claiming that their need is a right to some one else's life and bread.
