But tell me that we are on the verge of a serious period of deflation and I will laugh till it hurts.

Well, those are typically folks who follow the Austrian school of economics or believe in k-winter etc. Sure, anything is possible in the long term but one cannot put food on the table based on those theories.

In the near term (2008), it looks like inflation pressures in the U.S. are subsiding (another data point support, though somewhat distorted, is the U.S. 10yr treasury yield). How the fed and consumers react, how the rest of the world respond, etc. will determine how those pressures evolve over the long term.
