Hollow and miserable? I'd say comfortable and secure. Hell, our homeless people have a better standard of living than half the world. People that are comfortable and secure want to be entertained because they don't have a whole lot to worry about. Arab terrorists? I don't think there is any reason they would want to blow up my house. For most of the people in this country our problems are pretty petty.
