You got it right. All sorts of words could be placed in the space. To add to your list:

Seems that a lot of people need to get their panties in a knot on a regular basis. It is an inevitable product of the constant fear mongering from media and governments. Can't have happy, intelligent, critically thing peasants. They might tell the ruling class where to shove their control issues.
