Most likely not, for although we are not selfish with our genes I am  
unaware of any, um, historical activity in South Carolina.

A humorous aphorism attributed to E.B. White summarizes these  
distinctions:
To foreigners, a Yankee is an American.
To Americans, a Yankee is a Northerner.
To Northerners, a Yankee is an Easterner.
To Easterners, a Yankee is a New Englander.
To New Englanders, a Yankee is a Vermonter.
And in Vermont, a Yankee is somebody who eats pie for breakfast.
