While I leave you the perogative to change your mind at some point (and I would hope that there was reason behind the change), I won't accept that "I don't care" is equivalent to "I may start caring at any moment."
belM has suggested that we cannot make positive statements without qualifications, i.e. that what most people mean by "I eat peanuts" must be "I sometimes eat peanuts on occassion when I feel like it if they are available", and now theM says all negative statement must be also, i.e. that what most people mean by "I don't care" must now be "I don't care and I don't plan to anytime soon."
This is going to make for some very long conversations (sometimes, when we feel like discussing something, and if the opportunity arises).
