. . . "globe trotting" is so harmful to our fragile Planet. When a so-called "luxury liner" makes an unscheduled stop at a previously unspoiled environmentally sensitive tropical island, the undeserving fat cat passengers are immediately subjected to an economic fleecing at the hands of the unscrupulous immoral local populace. As soon as the frequent "cruisers" set back out to sea, the island's reigning strong man announces his pernicious plot to raze the island's wildlife and charming historic structures in order to construct an environmentally disastrous Big Foot Hotel Complex. The lesson from BULLWINKLE MAKES A HIT is that responsible U. S. Citizens should stay put in the friendly confines of our American Homeland. As Dorothy Gale reminds us in THE WIZARD OF OZ, "There's no place like home."

Boris manages to steal the ship and head for Pottsylvania. Sadly, for him, he has no moose, no Mooseberries, and his superiors aren't interested in a 100,000,000 dollar ocean liner.

. . . 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.
