[edit] Geography
Neither of the coordinates matches anything politically significant, though the USCB's is close to the Library/Civic Center/Public Works. They must be some estimate of the centroid of the city limits, which would explain the difference since the Census Bureau only keeps simplified polygon data. --belg4mit 18.124.2.224 21:23, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Blather
Hello my name Is Khristine S. Jackson, i am resident in the Richmond area I have lived there for at lease the same amount as my father has served in California's Vacaville Correctional Medical Facility which is 10 years. im a minor, but I think I have the rights to state what I feel about the 3 Strikes law!!! I think My father should get out of jail, because I have grieved for years and years thats not the main issue, but also I think he should'nt have to serve 25 years Which is he's sentence for Robbery of the amount of 100 and so dollars. He has served almost all his time and I think by 11 years they should release my dad. Im 14 years old with alot of knowledge to know that it's sad to see my mom a single parent raise 5 children on her on. And to know that my pop is not by her side that's hard to go through. Im weak i've been through alot as a teen I mean alot. Well I would be very happy if our president Bush and Governor Arnold .S would change the 3 strikes law and as well as the State Of California. Im now going to close out by saying thank you very much for reading and I would be very happy if they do so. my father name is fred Leon Jackson, Jr.
Sincerly,

Khristine S. Jackson, if your father was imprisoned under the Three strikes law it was not simply because he stole 100 dollars. But because he had committed two felonies prior to his theft of $100.
Perhaps he reasoned that $100 was more important than the 5 children left behind?
At any rate, as the sole external link on the Three strikes law page shows, the usefulness of the three strikes law is in debate. If you really want to make a difference I recommend you use your head. Study, uncover facts. Go to school and enrich yourself as you fight for your father.
The world allows amazing things to those who use their heads.
That is, so long as you can accept the unhappy truth that comes with viewing the world without Bias.
Viewing the world that way is not as easy as it seems.
[edit] Issei
I've just removed the phrase "See also: Issei Japanese American" from the text of this article, due to there being absolutely no context. But there's obviously demographic and historic information to be shared here - would someone add it? Jessicapierce 16:12, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
