<<Not to be harsh, but where did you pull that logic out of? Your arse??
Most of the undeveloped world continues to see high population growth. In many cultures a large family is see as a symbol of influence and security (expanding your genetic prodigy as well as creating a large family to take care of you in retirement).
But deflation is not due to a slump in population. >>

You ignorant jerk! It was not a worldwide population decrease, rather a decrease in the rate of population growth(though in some parts of africa there has been an actual population decrease)! You should go check out the population reviews from the UN for Africa. The numbers of people which have died of these diseases is reported daily by the media:
HIV (the Congo reports a far lower population today than just ten years ago from this one)
Ross River virus
Hantavirus (this one bothers me, for as we are trying to find some way to protect Coloradoans from this, one carrier is a "protected species" under federal law another is being protected by animal rights types)
Dengue Fever (though not new)
Menangle
Hendra
Australian Bat Lyssavirus (related to rabbies)
bacteria resistant to antibiotics
Malaria reemerging in Africa (also occuring for the first time at high altitude)
A Neisseria meningitidis
Mad Cow Disease (Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease)
Worldwide - Tuberculosis reemerging
Lyme disease
Ebola Virus (two thousand died in one single outbreak)
Diphtheria reoccuring in the former Soviet Union
Rabies at an all time record in wild animal populations in the Western US.
One might also look at(the first ever)recent decreases in infant mortality
Go check out the CDC & WHO web sites. Better yet, find some other way to explain the massive increases in health care costs under the current zero inflation rule!
