>>Sorry to ramble and rant, but the idea that deflation is death has

I agree with you in the case you present. I think the current concern has to do with significant overcapacity in Asia and other weakening economies. This type of deflation comes from too many goods and workers instead of productivity gains. If there are way too many goods and workers, profits can disappear.
