Re: Are you a culture-less barbarian?

One important element missing from this whole discussion is whether any particular definition of "cultured" makes one a better person. If we measured culture by knowledge of the arts, does that mean the someone who is more cultured is somehow better than someone who has never studied art? Is someone who can identify an wine by the way sunlight glistens off it better than someone who prefers to drink PBR from the can?
Some of the best people I have ever known would be, by common definitions, considered uncultured. I personally don't care whether people consider me cultured or not, as long as they recognize me as a whole person and not just by this one narrow measure of a person.
