Weapons of mass destruction,
All men are equal

Unfortunately I think the second myth is working hard on becoming reality whereas not many people seem to care about the third one.
Well done.

I love the tinge of satire embedded in this!

There is a lot of End Times mythology throughout history.
We shouldn't forget, as our leaders seem to have that we are all equal under the bomb.

Ah, yes, I always forget about that "other" meaning for the word "myth," which you explore very pointedly here. (I.e, I tend to think of "myth"/mythology as deep truth, as opposed to falsehood.)
