The First Tik Tok War

On the early morning of August 2, 1990, I was headed to Williamsburg, VA. Riding north on I-64, crossing the Hampton Roads Bridge/Tunnel, just past Newport News, came the newsflash on the radio – Iraq has invaded Kuwait. That moment would go on to have a large impact on my own life. For our culture and society, there was an even bigger paradigm shift in the days ahead. Today, that shift continues, in directions never imagined in 1990-91. What was once sensible and easy to follow if overwhelming at times, has become a jumbled mess of information overload.
