As was said just before the program's close: you can't serve both God and Mammon.
About natural resource issues: it's not advocating species suicide to point out that an absolutist advocacy of triumphalist materialism is inadequate as a conservative paradigm. If conservatism is about restraint -- social, moral, political, cultural, and the rest -- it must recognise that unrestricted consumerism is a trap, and that prosperity alone is of no value if it becomes not our servant but our master.
From the strictly Christian point of view, it is the fall of Adam that turns man into a predator who no longer perceives creation as something directed to the praise of God. Instead, it is good only for self-worship. Suicide of the species will not come from insufficient prosperity; if it comes it will be from a disordered and disintegrating quest for posessions and pleasure that make man a servant of his appetites, rather than someone freed in the Resurrection that redeems not only humanity but all created matter.
This is not to suggest that all men are called to poverty, but it does argue for an ethic of economy and decent self-restraint, according to which material posessions are good only so long as they constitute a Eucharist -- a thankgiving -- not as man's due for his own self-earned justification -- and only so long as they tend to human solidarity, and not alienation.

Ahem. The
Rose Bowl is played on January 1st. The
Rose Bowl is a contest between Pac 10 and Big 10 teams.
Something was played in Pasadena tonight, but pulleaze don't dare call it "The Rose Bowl". That will only encourage the charlatans to do it again.
There was no Rose Bowl this year. humph

Restraint is an aspect of economy -- an austere dignity and horror of waste -- and economy is understood by the classes that create wealth better than by the classes that consume it. The notion of Restraint as emblematic of conservatism first occurred to me while reading Mary McCarthy's
The Stones of Florence. Art in Florence peaked in the quattrocento, before the advent of the grand dukes and the sterile but ostentatious bad taste found in their official art.
At its best, the Florentine aesthetic echoed the balance and truthfulness of classicism, but in a human and Christian context, in which the figures and through them the viewer, are rooted in a cosmic order that's serene without being simplistic. Restraint in art is thus a manifestation of restraint in life -- not out of joyless hatred for the created world, but out of joy in considered contemplation of the incalculable value of every particle of creation.
