That probably just makes the problem much more apparent - like putting a polar bear in a snowstorm and realising that the bear really has quite yellow-ish fur (*).
Taking a look at your recent pictures from the Burma protest (using Firefox on Linux) I'm sure I'm not getting the colours the way you see them on your monitor but neither am I seeing colours so out of wack that I can't bear to look at them. In fact, they look pretty good.
If you want complete control, you have to limit your audience (for example, printing them and having them hung in a gallery where only a relatively small number of people can see them); with images where you feel the colours are particularly sensitive, a more pragmatic approach might be to fine tune it for your calibrated system and then also publish a version that has been hacked to approximate the appearance in a "colour-profile blind" browser like Firefox.

(*) or, probably more easily, putting any two things that you would describe as having the same colour next to each other - this often shows a marked difference.
