Yea, I agree, but I can tell you that my own use of LaTeX (I work at a public community college) is met with much hostility. Typically a response like, "why don't you just use Word!"
There's really no need for a conspiracy theory. Just look at the facts:
1. Everyone from the working poor to the working wealthy pay nearly 1/2 their incomes to various government agencies. 2. In turn your government has become the most dangerous thug in the world.
It looks more like you guys are taking a technical course; you've all been hoodwinked into thinking that calculus is concerned with approximates. It is not!
TeXShop is an excellent Mac OS X application for those who want to give LATEX a try. Installation is easy and does not require using X11, but you'll probably need to learn some LATEX first.
I really think it's worth the effort.

Well, I've been running Mac OS X on an Apple iBook (Graphite, 320 MB RAM, Airport wireless) for almost a year now and it's one damn good machine. I only hope that Apple's next release of OS X will be as cool as the demo at MacWorld. You can also run Yellow Dog Linux if you want to avoid Mac OS X.
