Talk:The Architects of Fear

Reagan quote
I think the Reagan quote is a good example of taking someone's words out of context to make it seem like they support something that you are arguing about (as in Quote mining):


 * I occasionally think how quickly our differences, world wide, would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world.

The question, of course, is whether (A) Reagan really believes in hostile aliens from outer space or (B) Reagan is just using the idea to make a point, i.e., about the need for international unity.

I came across the quote in the recent remake of Disney's Escape to Witch Mountain (1995 film), which through clever editing omitted the context and of course the hypothetical if. --Uncle Ed (talk) 16:03, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Wrong version of Plot?
Alan Leighton is transformed into "a perfect inhabitant of the planet Theta" in all copies I have seen not a vedlanite as in the plot summary here,(and there is no 2088 date attached to it) some mistake? 81.111.127.132 (talk) 13:47, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
