Purim guidelines and what every person should know about Purim

http://www.vosizneias.com/77853/2011/03/07/new-york-purim-an-overview

I must say that I am not completely orthodox in that I am unsure at this time if I will be finding a place likely in a location that will take me 30 minutes of car travel to hear megilla this year.   That said, I will seek the right path for myself in this Purim season and hope that this very important commandement is not a commandment that I will fail to observe in the time ahead.   
I must say that Purim is sadly a Jewish observance that most of the religious people of the rest of the world do not know a single detail or more than the name of the holiday.  That is terrible.  This should be a time of celebration for not just the Jewish population but for the entire world.  It is a celebration of life.  It is a celebration of salvation.  It commemorates acheivement and it inspires us to trust that the Jewish people will never be eliminated from the Earth.  This is a human interest.  Not just the Jewish people's celebration.
