When Sacrifice Is Not Worth The Cost, The Price Of Freedom Goes Up!
It's that time of year when we thank all our veterans, hang out our flags, and show our patriotism.

This Veterans Day is an excellent time for all freedom-loving people to evaluate if we are merely patriotic hypocrites.
  
The dangers surrounding freedom-loving people throughout the world are greater than ever. The vigilance against evil will stretch beyond the imagination of those comfortable, ignoring these dangerous realities around us.

It's so important that we always remember the sacrifices for the price of freedom. We must also avoid becoming comfortably complacent in that freedom. There are times we all must sacrifice for freedom's sake.

It can be easy to hang the flag on a crisp fall day and thank some veterans we know in a once-a-year tribute.

Veterans Day is an excellent day for all of us to ask: what can we do, and what are we willing to sacrifice as individuals or business owners to help freedom's cause?

Freedom will always demand payment, and freedom-loving people have no choice but to pay as the bill comes due.

Veterans Day must be more than praising Veterans with words or simply hanging the flag on a crisp fall day in November. Let's all do our part for freedom!

In praise of our veterans who serve and sacrifice for all of us.

I believe both Ricoh and Konica Minolta are too weak to be serious contenders. They both seem to be in a perpetual state of on-the-job training. If one listens to their leaders within their industrial business units, one can only recognize hope as the foundation of their business strategy, and we all know that hope doesn't pay the bills!

Now is the time for all Konica Minolta Dealers to consider their future. Dealers with multiple OEM lines, in addition to the Konica Minolta line, maybe should consider eliminating the Konica Minolta line altogether. A dealer could have great leveraging power with their other OEMs if they chose one to replace their Konica Minolta MIF.
