Maybe because they, too, don't want to give Card money? Or because if they were willing to shell out $5 for it over Amazon, they would've done that in the first place instead of asking someone to borrow it?
In any event, the chances of this scenario are so vanishingly small that I see no reason to continue to entertain it. I do appreciate your attempts to assist me in this regard. I hope your efforts to read authors for the sole reason that they're hated by people you don't like continue to bear fruit.
EDIT: I am well aware of your argument. I have never said I believe Card doesn't deserve to make a living, and I in no way wish ill on him (well, I hope his political positions crash and burn, but other than that). You are attributing to me views I don't hold, so let me make myself ultra-clear: I just don't want any of my own money going toward him. I honestly couldn't care less whether Card himself does well or poorly.
