Hello,
I am having trouble understanding the book's negation (found on 6-93) for #8: "Unless we protect our rights, we will lose them."
The conditional statement is diagrammed as this: Not Lose Rights --> Protected Rights
The negation, to me, must be this: Even if we do not protect our rights, we will not lose them.
The book negates #8 as this: Even if we protect our rights, we will lose them.
I am having a difficult time understanding how the book's negation is a logical opposite to "Unless we protect our rights, we will lose them."
Thanks for the help.
