Maybe you're missing an oportunity to illuminate the differences between the "open source" movement and the free software movement that even people like me don't get. I would hate to think that by advocating "open source" software that I am somehow oposed to free-as-in-freedom software.
It's also possible that you're not giving the techologically unenlightened enough credit... I mean it's fairly plain to everyone there is a free-as-in-freedom software revolution happening, and I think most people can see the difference between the ideals that guide it and something like those 100% idealism-free IBM/Linux TV commercials. People DO get that there's a difference between participating in an open source project and just not having to pay a licensing fee.
