Id like support on that claim. That means that every terangreal is corrupt that even had a male assist in its making that uses the power, since it is constantly in touch with the OP, and thus always drawing the taint...

Thanks for the correction. But how is it known that the corruption is from the taint? I mean, the eye of the world had a pure, taintless pool of saidin. That means the taint isnt part of saiden, and even though men died creating that pure pool, i think it means that actual flows arent affected by the taint, the taint is just taken in as side affect of saiden. Also, isnt the taint described as a sheet covering saiden? So taint wouldnt be woven into the flows, just affecting the channeler. Do we have any other evidence of male acts post-resealing being tainted (other than madness, of course). Im sure Im grasping at straws here, but its worth the thought.

Also, IIRC, the chosen have no control over the taint, but are just protected - Rand cutting Asmo off renders him helpless. If there was a way to control it, then Asmo would then most likely find a way to avoid the effects of the taint.

Could the corruption of the ways be due to some action of Sammel during one of his times free of the seal? This could give reason as to why the black wind would be controllable, yet seemingly uncontrollable to everyone else, since they know nothing of Sammel being free of the seal. I'm assuming other forsaken, since they would have a similar education in the power as its creator, since they all were from the AOL.

I would assume that since you can travel into TAR (or something like it... Whatever Rand does in the Stone to chase the baddie there) you could take it there. I dont think it likely that it will have any different affect, it will summon the heroes to your aid. But I have no proof.

Assuming the Towers persist, I think Jordan intentionally avoided having ajah structures in the Black Tower. Jordan felt that a male political system would naturally tend to focus on a more direct hierarchy while the women would develop a consensus building, multi-party structure. At best we'll (continue to) see a "two-party" political structure in the Black Tower.

I agree with this completly. There is constant contrast between male and female motivations in every word in the book. Men tend to be up front and open in their arguments (the wisdom can come to the village council's meetings) but women's business is off limits (men messing with womens circle is a big no-no)
