Jeff, in tax laws, it is forbidden for a minister, priest, rabbi or rabbit to instruct a parishioner to vote for this or that. In the United States that will take away their tax exemption. You had mentioned this as a possibility in a sentence connected to the answer of "who do you listen to(?)."

This is an extremely naive take. People take political cues that are implicit, that follow logically from the sermons they hear, and the statements of those around them.

Hey, thanks for this lecture. Not a student, just enjoying. Wondering....why you professors on youtube never recommend folks actually read the text? I seem to get so much more from these lectures if I read the book first. Just sayin.

It's called an "introduction". Often you see introductions like this, which give some context and insight into the main ideas of the text, at the beginning of a book. It is assumed you will read the book afterwards. What you're asking is like saying "why don't restaurant menus ask you to eat the food?". It's implicit.
