I'm an original Californian living in northern Germany, and I always think how diverse things are back there. Anyway, I agree with you , I think anywhere that has so much to offer culturally is civilized. Museums, different cultural food, diverse groups of people, and people who think different from each other, that to me is civilization. EDIT: Art is a huge part of it for me too. If a city or town lacks art, or even an artist outlet of some sort like galleries and museums, then it's not the place for me! Your question makes me homesick.

In a truely civilized world,there would not be wars,man's inhumanity to man,greed,the desire for power to control others.The history of the United States,and other nations,is testimony to a lack of qualities that would justify declaring any nation civilized.Are you aware of many violations of civil liberties,and the Constitution in the United States of America?The torture of prisoners at Guantanamo bay?On the pretense of fighting a war against an abstraction, that is,terrorism! If there is any poverty,any violation of civil liberties in San Francisco,then it could not be deemed to be civilized.I could continued ad finitum,but it would probably be ignored.
