Working Against The Machine

After what I thought was a successful interview, my contact has not yet emailed me back. This has become a trend with the person I am working with in HFS. My idea seems so simple and easy to implement, and she herself also admitted that it was not that hard to implement, yet it is still not being done. As a student I am noticing that if we want change and we have ambition enough to go out and seek it, why then can it not happen? It seems like all these people who want the next generation to take over the world, don’t want to give up the power they have. If someone came up to me with a good idea that was simple and had basically no up front costs to my self, why would I not adopt it? This post is not just a rant but more of a question. How do I get the people up top to seriously take the time to notice my idea and enact it? Do I just keep bugging them or do I have to talk to some one else? Or do I even go commando on them and just steal the cups without there authority?
