Inflation or Deflation?

Financial Sense has a poll going regarding the question on every financial geek's mind. I think the respondents expecting slowly building inflation are wishful thinking. Interestingly, the 2nd most popular answer is 'el hyper'. From a contrarian perspective, I am not so sure I want to be aligned with this poll in the intermediate term.
