Ron,

Yes I have, and lots of others, too. They all seem to draw the same response you gave: "LOL". I can't find anyone with enough foresight. That's what's kept me out of the big time and why now at nearly 60, I'm unemployed.

I think I was inspired as a young teen by a sci-fi comic strip in the 50's. I don't remember how it came to be, discovery of anti-gravity perhaps, but for instance there was an airport in the shape of a 6-pointed Star of David with parallel runways in three directions to accommodate simultaneous landings and takeoffs in any wind direction. It was constructed on top of a skyscraper, maybe the Empire State Bldg. Of course there could be bad side effects like a simple shake-up-the-passengers-and-crew skidding off the runway and elevators burning out... But hey, shit happens. Those details can be left to others. I'm just a concept man.

I think that's when I became a fan of sci-fi and started thinking outside the box. Now I'm so far outside the box I can't even find it anymore. Damn Democrats!
