Actually, I had almost $100 of merchandise in my shopping-cart while I was ruminating the pros and cons, and checking where the shipping-fee thresholds were, even considering having the stuff sent to my great-aunt's Florida condo to save on costs, and I didn't see the Merchant Instructions (micro-print link) on any of the pages, and that's another reason why I was so surprised, because I was careful to avoid confirming payment, and then after removing everything except the Tickets, I go no options whatsoever, just a Thanks for Paying screen... I had to login to PayPal to find out where the money was drawn from! PayPal has screwed me in many sundry ways before over the years; but, I've never had an experience like that, i.e., no option to back-out of a purchase before completing the transaction, before---quite surreal.
The spirit of the Declaration of Arbroath (6 April 1320) abides today, defiantly resisting any tyranny that would disarm, disperse and despoil proud people of just morals, determined to keep the means of protecting their families and way of life close at hand.
