Strongest social commentary episodes

I think preserving the planet takes the cake due to how Changing Nature ended, and If You Were a Tree was pretty powerful too, but otherwise what do you think were the strongest social commentary episodes?

The blatant sexist treatment towards women in a 'male dominated world', What Sexual Harris Meant, Working Girl.

Also the less than subtle jabs at the powers and intentions behind censorship and network programming in Network Genius and Baby Talk.

Endangered Species is pretty clear about conservation.

A few that come to mind:

Nuts to War- all about war and the impacts

A New Leaf- clearly about drug use, and also funny how at the end Robbie tells us how if we stop doing drugs then we don't have to get episodes like this anymore

Swamp Music- clearly looking at race or people that are different from you and learning to not judge a book by its cover and if we talk, we can find common ground and learn to get along and like each other and such
