I tried to drown my sorrows but the bastards learned how to swim and now I am overwhelmed by this decent and good feeling.

The humor is essentially dark for a cartoon and sophisticated. But at the same time being a cartoon gives the writers more freedom than in a normal sitcom. It always pushes the line that despite human failings the Simpsons are really decent people.

In the literal sense there has been no relevant evolution since the trek from Africa. But there has been substantial progress towards higher standards of rights justice and freedom - along with all too many illustrations of how remote is the goal of a decent society.

And the only thing to do with a sin is to confess do penance and then after some kind of decent interval ask for forgiveness.

If I don't get food in my mouth I'm still happy. If my pants are round my ankles as long as I don't get arrested for indecent exposure I'm happy. I'm worried about keeping my hair not how it's combed.

When the truth is that there would be no great Western music and certainly no decent choral repertoire without the Catholic faith.
