Each takes place from 7:00\u20139:00 pm at the Schrott Center for the Arts on the campus of Butler University, 4600 Sunset Avenue.<\/p>\n The flooding in Texas provides for an interesting starting point for conversations about this. If someone needed to flee for their life from flooding in Texas towards and over the border with Mexico, should they have a wall in their way?
