Most viewers may believe that the proper name . . .

. . . for this Aesop Fable is "The Mouse Who Belled the Cat." However, because "Murphy," the rodent in question, fails so miserably in his multiple attempts at this task, this episode is titled THE MICE IN COUNCIL. This, of course, is somewhat of an oxymoron, because rodents in general and mice in particular are voracious vermin--NOT civilized beings who meet in democratic confabs. Mice, rats, squirrels, chipmunks, voles, moles and nutria are Sons of Anarchy--NOT role models for Western Civilization. Like snakes in the grass or spiders lurking on their webs, rodents generally do not get good press. Their extermination can be of interest. Their self-preservation seldom if ever is.
