I'd say that most people /do/ care about their rights but often appear
not to care because they (a) don't clearly perceive and feel threats we
perceive and feel and/or (b) don't perceive ways to protect their rights
that they feel capable of doing.

How most people act is driven by what they perceive and feel, not by
what they think intellectually.  A key challenge for software freedom
advocates is to grasp how different the world looks and feels to other
people, and to find effective ways to make software freedom a visible,
attractive, and achievable goal for more of us.
