News
From the President of HOP: Perhaps, our readers and supporters, have been wondering, why Hop's site-information became so stale over the past 90 days. Frankly, we went through several months of being hacked (cat and mouse style), nearly every day, I suspect by people who wanted to build a new web site for HOP. We are very pleased with the work of Daniel Lukin, HOP's webmaster and BioTech student - we don't claim to be professionals in this regard. We simply utilize our own, and wil be updating all of HOP's articles ... shortly!

One of the great things about being in the position that I am in, as President of HOP, an outdoor citizen myself (for a period of time), I get to say, what some of my other professional and well-intended peers, even fellow clerics, cannot say. Outdoor Citizens: "You need to get up off of your butts and help yourselves, some of you are not doing anything but waiting for the food wagons and making excuses". So having said that, please read outdoor citizen, Tom Johnson's article (in the Article Section), and read my comments below. Or will you still be a depdendent outdoor citizen in year 2020?
